hmm, not precisely, it's a cpu limit you described
and that is what this configuration does, for fair
scheduling you need to activate the indle skip and
configure it in a similar way ...

fair enough ...

well, if the 'results' and 'methods' will be made
public, I can, until now all I got was something
along the lines:

 "Linux-VServer is not stable! WE (swsoft?) have
  a secret but essential test suite running two 
  weeks to confirm that OUR kernels ARE stable,
  and Linux-VServer will never pass those tests,
  but of course, we can't tell you what kind of
  tests or what results we got"

which doesn't help me anything and which, to be 
honest, does not sound very friendly either ...

but what about the Virtuozzo(tm) guys? :)
I'm really trying not to generalize here ...
