@ TakeTheHighRoad.

If you looked at any metallurgical paper such as DoITPoMS - TLP Library Creep Deformation of Metals - Effects of stress and temperature, you'd see that the creep rate of a turbine blade will have an exponential dependence on temperature.

It pays to run the engines as cool as possible with any power setting greater than MCT.
