The Xen schedulers already attemp (and quite well) to balance the CPU
utilization across virtual machines.
So, for example, with default parameters 2 virtual machines running CPU
intensive tasks will get 50% each of the available CPU.
With advanced settings, you can define the weight of each of virtual
server.
