"Concern about latency without looking at processor speed is like
complaining about boarding times for a
long flight: certainly if you would walk the way you could start right now
rather than wait for an hour. But
the actual response time of the transaction is likely much worse."

Alternatively, suggest your Unix peers to reduce the number of virtual CPUs
for their guests. It will certainly help lower steal time.
