The secret of how to be miserable is to constantly expect things are going to happen the way that they are "supposed" to happen.

But one production machine I used to ride herd on ran most of the day at 3% CPU, only occasionally popping up to 10% CPU. Which is why virtual machines, cloud servers, and containers are so popular these days (gratuitous self-promotion: visit our new cloud/virtualization/container forum, hoest by Your Humble Servant).
