[Vserver] yelling to the rooftops -Talk about efficiency!!!!

I am more than amazed at the server usage statics I am presented with every
time I check them, initially to the point I kept verifying that the guests
were running and all was well!!!

We have a 4 processor machine with 3gb ram installed presently running 9
guests, 5 of which are quite busy.

3 name servers all of which are authority servers for several thousand
domains.

1 radius server that is busy enough i must kill the log tail to be able to
read it

1 smtp gateway that is also busy enough i cannot read the log via tail

2 monitoring systems that test and graph our entire network and page us if
there are problems

1 dsl authentication server handling more than 200 client routers/modems

1 medium load web server

When each of these were running on their own servers, they used a reasonable
amount of resources.

All combined are only using the below resources.. the friggin machine is
loafing!!

This boggles my mind. They seem to be impossibly low usage rates for a host
which runs ntpd serving every machine in our organization and all of our
customers, a caching name server for the guests, a pvt jabber/conferencing
server and several critical services itself, and 9 guests! I now feel
confident enough in this system to move 30 more servers over to it :)

THANK YOU VSERVER DEVELOPMENT TEAM!!!!
