I just did a search for 'cpu_cap' and another for 'cpu_weight' in the
list archives and got zero results.  Weird.

Anyway, I have a PV VM that might try and use too many resources.  How
can I use 'cpu_cap' and 'cpu_weight' to control that?  Is there any
sort of reference doc that describes these settings?  Maybe examples?
I can kindof guess what cpu_cap does, but cpu_weight could mean
anything.

OR!

If there is a better way to manage VM prioritisation, please let me
know.  Or even more generally, any best practices to keep a VM from
making other VMS too sluggish?

Thanks!
-Dylan
