That's basically a very individual and site-speficic choice and it's completely dependant
on your base-line usage. If you normally only utilise 5% and all of a sudden it starts
doing 50%, chances are you've got a problem. 

>> true but the question remains. Is 50% high enough to bog down a router being used in a
true carrier class capacity?

But if you're doing 50% under normal circumstances, you're looking at higher percentages.
I'm not really sure at what percentage of usage routing performance starts to suffer, but
I'd start getting pretty worried round de 90% marker 

>> this is more along the lines I was thinking of. 

and I'd preferrably start thinking about expanding my routing capacity  at 75% - 80%
base-line usage.

Cheers,
