>As John said, no harm no foul. Agreed. Over the years we see the CPU Utilization graphs as follow (from midnight to next midnight): "Free State Flat" - around 0 % - 20% all hours of the day. (Free State province in South Africa is mostly flat, not even a little hill.) "Hilly" - varying wildly from 10% to 90% during the course of the day. One idle interval followed up by busy interval. "Dolly Parton" : CPU usage: 00:00 - 06:59 - around 0% - 40% (depending on night work) , 07:00 - 12:00 - 80% - 100%, lunchtime to around 14:00 - dropping down to 60%, 14:00 - 16:00 - same as morning, from 17:00 - it varies depending on scheduled backup window. Then we have "Table Mountain" too: from 06: - 18:00 at 100% - flat as Table Mountain. Rest of day, it is like "Hilly", up and down. In all of these scenarios, there is no harm or foul.
