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.
