Anton,

Your analogy might be useful. Performance figures are sent weekly to one 
of our clients (who actually pay for the boxes and our time). The powers 
that be, for some reason, think that showing near 100% is embarassing for 
us. Personally I would have thought that it showed that we are using 
their machines quite well.
