At the moment, the "mixed workload" problem, where a single VM does both
cpu-intensive and latency-sensitive* workloads, has not been addressed
yet. I have some ideas, but I haven't implemented them yet.
* i/o-bound is not the same as latency sensitive. They obviously go
together frequently, but I would make a distinction between them. For
example, an scp (copy over ssh) can easily become cpu-bound if there is
competition for the cpu -- but it is nonetheless latency sensitive. (I
guess to put it another way, a workload which is latency-sensitive may
become i/o-bound if its scheduling latency is too high.)
