First Steps with Control Groups in Linux
Control groups are really, really great. They can effectively make your system act as if it were two or more systems in one. It’s like virtualization without all the overhead and much more efficient than e.g. renicing. (Just a little overhead… and no hard cpu limit yet, but still great!) You can lock a process into a jail that is only as fast as e.g. 10% of your cpu and has only 10 % of your memory and 10 % of your disk speed.
