In the system I deal with on my day job, 50% of the CPU load is from RT tasks!
In fact, I think that is quite normal for industrial applications. Those tend to be PLC-like: You run your scan every 10 ms. First you read your input, then you do your calculations then you set your output. You do the same thing every time. You can thus safely tick around at a CPU load close to 100%!!
This is quite opposit to how telecom real-time systems works: Those are usually event based. I.e. they process things when they occur. The load can vary a lot depending on how much traffic has to go through the device.
