In fact quite the opposite. We must absolutely always distribute the
load as I don't want to have all my containers/VMs do intense work at
precisely the same time, it's madness.

My general expectation as a user would be that things do not run immediately
after resume, but only in idle periods - if I resumed, it's likely I
have to get work done _right now_ and I likely will have trouble if
everything is running update or installing upgrades in the background,
the load is intense.

In any case, this is a recent change (whether regression or feature
is debatable) in systemd, and I'm reassigning and merging it with the
issue where this is being tracked.
