depends on the situation.
workwise, i kinda have to be early because i ride a bike and will often arrive more....uh......moistened from the ride than i was at the outset. and then there is the time required for the endorphin pit to dissipate. this is just takes a few minutes, particularly if the ride featured one or more close calls between my bikeself and some fucktard on a cellphone while driving their fucking car (but i digress). for gigs, i am always early because i have a routine that i feel like i have to do before a performance. without it, the performance will definitely suck, where with it it might suck, and that possibility that it wont suck seems worth showing up early for.
but that's about it--otherwise i try to be on time and usually am but sometimes i am not. though frankly i am more likely to forget altogether that i am to be somewhere than i am to turn up late.
