Hi Rhys, 

If it's a Cisco I have found that once you start hitting 70% you'll
start to see Latency creep up, this in turn will likely to have an
overall effect on achievable speeds.  

If the 70% figure is an average then peaks may be quite a bit higher, I
would consider working on a plan to upgrade the device(s) or do the
usual process of looking at your configuration to see if you have any
misconfigured/redundant ACL's or or routing policies that may be eating
into your CPU performance. 

Kind Regards, 

Jim.
