I'm not sure I understand your question correctly, usually a 100% of the Project Manager's time. In case of a hybrid (let's say developer and Project Manager at the same time) then it should be as long as it takes, the Project Management function of the employee should be his/her priority. Make sure you do all your job functions as a Project Manager otherwise, the project will probably fail.

Project Management is a very serious profession and should not be taken lightly.

I agree that project management is a very serioud profession. The percentage "overhead" of project management to a project is however largely depending on the nature of a project, e.g. how many people are working on the project, complexity, budget, etc.

If a project has one developer working full time for 3 months, it sure doesn't need a project manager also working full time to manage just one developer. In this example, the percentage overhead would be 50% of project (1 out of 2 full time resources is doing only project management).

I think the question implies that you believe that Project Management is an evolution of normal, traditional management.Project Management is about a managing a project with a defined length (in time), cost, and specification. Project Management is said to be about 90% communications (thus the importance), as the Project Manager usually has to communicate to a lot of people (stakeholders, employees, etc...), in order to get his/her project done.
