Dear Mike,

But you are using CGROUPs, grouping all oinks into one group, and the
one pert into another: requesting each group to get same total CPU.
Since pert has one process only, the most he can get is 100% (not 400%),
and it is quite OK for the oinks together to get 700%.

> IFF ... massively parallel and synchronized ...

You would be making the assumption that you had the machine to yourself:
might be the wrong thing to assume.

>> Good to see that you agree ...
> Weeell, we've disagreed on pretty much everything ...

Sorry I disagree: we do agree on the essence. :-)

Cheers, Paul
