It's always been reasonable, at least in my case, since 1981.
100% busy, by itself, has never been an issue.
The SRM/WLM combo has been designed to run your processor at that level.
It's when service degrades, is the issue.

My point, is why is he happy at 60%?
*IX and windows don't like 'high' utilisation numbers.
And, sometimes 'high' is 20%.


When in doubt.
PANIC!!
