Ryan,

        From my Unix SysAdmin   once you reach 60% CPU utilization
you've reached the point of diminishing returns, namely things are going
to slow down real fast.  This is one time I believe him as we've seen
the results.

Subject: question about cpu usage

I'm not a hardware guy or sys admin person so forgive me if this is a
stupid question. Leaving out all other variables(such as IO), should I
expect performance to be the same in a databse if the server it is
riding at is at 90% cpu usages as opposed to 10%? since there would
still be spare cycles? Or is there a declining returns as you get
closing to the maximum available cpu usage?=20
