As far as I know Idle CPU usage doesn't really count. It's resources aren't being spent, it's just as it says, idle. :-) I'm talking out from a linux perspective. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

That is not the case with my virtual machines in OpenVZ. Do you know if this is OpenVZ, XEN, or something else?

Not sure - where can I look to find this out? – Susan Aug 8 '09 at 7:50
