I have a table that's heavily queried and updated. Deletes and inserts are probably less than a half dozen times a year and the system is locked to users at those times. I have three unclustered indexes set at 100% fill factor. Would there be any advantage to reducing the fill factor? It is probably 50/50 split on the #of rows updated and the #of rows queried.

100% fill factor is for read-only tables.

We typically use 80%.
