An early interview (i.e. before your 3-year or 5-year GC anniversary) would generally result in either "decision cannot be made" or a rescheduled interview, either of which could have you waiting for several weeks after the initial interview date. It's up to you if you want to take that risk. You will suffer the consequences, not us.
I would wait 60 days before your eligibility date before applying. Granted these things vary from place to place but it seems like the fingerprinting seems to happen within 4-6 weeks of the initial mailing and the interview another 4-6 weeks later. The oath date is a total crapshoot which depends on your district office and can vary from same day as interview to 3.5 months wait in MA.
Just a thought:
Majority of people who applied, did not go on this forum and have no idea that the process is so streamlined that it actually takes less then 90 days.
But i can not imagine so many people who did everything by the book and apply exactly 90 days before, they all get "can'not make decision" answer. USNIC must be flooded with undecided cases like this. But it surely not the case here looking at the statistics.
I think the USINC must have some automatic tikers that will not schedule the interview unless computer sees the 3/5 year anniversary.
And some pure folks just got unluky with comp glitches.
It is not that i try to justify my case to send it right 90 days before, NO, it is just an analisys

Don't postpone the fingerprints, as that could lead to unpredictable delays.
Keep in mind that process vary from state to state. It is not same aplying in NY, CA or UT... Look at signatures from your state to get more acurate data.

The majority of people who do not visit this forum or any other immigration forum are not as highly motivated to get citizenship ASAP as the people here. Most in the general public don't even start to fill out the form and allocate the money and understand the process until they are already past the 90-day mark. So by the time they apply, it is usually at 60 days or later, often beyond the 5-year anniversary itself.
Yes, that or some variation of it always happens -- some even show up for the interview and are told the interview is rescheduled.
There was a case where the guy got a same-day oath even though it was before the 5-year anniversary -- but right before the oath the supervisor had removed him from it and told him to wait for an oath letter in the mail. And then things got crazy -- See http://forums.immigration.com/showthread.php?311426
