Rusnak,
No I don't think you are being a wisecracker. You are actually raising an important issue. The short answer to your question is "yes" your pressures are way too high.
The long answer as to why requires some pondering as there could be one or more reasons for excessive high side system pressures. Besides high pressures placing stress on your compressor, high temperatures also reduce the life of the compressor. Do you have a pressure cut out switch installed in the system? Have you considered adding additional condenser(s) capacity such as the Kuehl systems or others?
Stepping back, some off the cuff question I would ask:
1) How long did you pull a vacuum for?
2) How much refrigerant did you put in the system?
3) What was the ambient temp and high side pressure, at idle, when you finalized the charge?
