I believe the FCOM / FCTM recommends descending down to 4000' below optimum level to increase margins.

Interestingly enough I believe there is a difference in the speeds/thrust settings in tables in QRH and FCOM vs the graph in same section in FCOM. Don't have access to the books from iPad but I think graph is showing constant Severe Turbulence speed of 255(?) from FL200 (A319) but tables are showing .76 at FL330, 280 at FL310 and 255 at FL150.
