Up to a hair over 60% utilization the queuing delays on any work queue remain essentially negligible. At 70 they become noticeable, and at 80% they've doubled. And then it just turns into a shitshow from there on.
The rule of thumb is 60% is zero, and 80% is the inflection point where delays go exponential.
The biggest cluster I ran, we hit about 65% CPU at our target P95 time, which is pretty much right on the theoretical mark.
