hmm, we didn't realize that. Good, it will make the results even more
relevant. Any pointers on how these light virtualized/isolated environment,
similar to vserver chontext, can be set up ?

you must know how much time it takes to set up such an environment. it's
just a beginning. Clement is currently running tests on openvz stable, full
vserver and adding new tests on dbench to take into account your remarks.
we want to add tests and also namespace patchsets to the matrix. If you
have some time, please send us some of your material, that'll be nice.

Xen Domain0 has overhead.

We've done that in the OLS paper, soon to come, but we'll add the results
to lxc.sf.net before ols. You can also check this paper :
