In general, people need about 5-15 mins of break for every 60 mins of work. The problem with the above situation is that everyone was taking those 5-15 mins at different times and distracting others. It's pretty clear that with enough people, there will always be someone taking a break and distracting others almost constantly.

The other option is to force people to never take a break, which leads to an immense number of other issues and lower productivity.
