  Also OpenVZ can be oversold easily, whereas the same can't be done
 with Xen.  (Well not memory anyway.)

  Xen is probably a nice option, but UML, KVM, VMWare are all 
 much of a muchness if you're only paying peanuts for a small guest
 somewhere.

  Probably memory and I/O contention will be the most significant
 bottlenecks for any virtualised system you might try.
