for hourly/daily/... jobs? When using similar vservers, all of them would start those
jobs at the same time.

You could manually reschedule them? Or use some kind of vserver <name> exec cat /etc/crontab
to find out when they are run and change them to run at a different time?

But maybe just using nice on all the commands in the guests will raise the responsiveness,
but not lower the load.
