Is it "wise" to cut the skimming to say 90% at a given

If you have a 100K site. You're probably doing ~4100 uniques per hour. If you werer to suddenly cut your skim to 90% you would see a huge decline after the hour you change the skim. Eventually after a few hours your site will decline even more because your trades don't get enough back they won't send very much or will just kill the trade.

You probably won't have time to build up bookmarkers since ~4100 times how many hours your trades will keep sending is your time span.

It would be better if you just went gradual such as 2-5% every few days. That way you can make bookmarkers while keeping your site stable.
