Isn't the calculation (assuming (for simplicity) one CPU, running at 100% only on application load)
60 requests/sec => each request takes 1/60s CPU-second == 16.6ms of CPU time to process? (This is time-on-cpu, and doesn't include time-waiting-for-cpu. I think time-on-cpu is the number you want if you're looking at optimising your codebase)
