- Time of past OR future Camino

Forgive me if this specific question has been asked before, but I am trying to budget for my upcoming camino trip and there is a variable I need your help with, if that's OK.
I plan to walk from SJPdP to SdC during the whole month of May and possibly the first 3-4 days of June 2013. I am hoping to be able to book into the low-cost (private?) albergues and I am estimating this wil cost me approx 10 euros per night. Many threads have mentioned occasions when these albergues have been full but it is difficult to get a feel for how often this occurs and whether it is in some months, or on particuar routes, more than others.
So, my request is for best-guess estimates from the past experience of forum members about how many times this might realistically happen to me on the CF if I keep to this schedule. I imagine it will be easier to secure a bed at the start of the camino than it will be in the last 100km, but I need it to be a bit more specific to enable me to calculate the size of my contingency fund.
One extra piece of information that may be relevant is that probably I will walk at a slightly slower than average pace (based on typical 15 mile/24km per day hiking) and so I may be nearer the back of the queue/line (or still en route) when the doors of the albergues open.
Many thanks!
