That "one day" is coming in 40 days, Shane. No worries, though. Something will come through.
But to the point, I understand there are lots reasons why shops implement soft-capping. I contend that doing it using strictly this methodology could inhibit a revenue generating workload from meeting the needs of the customer. How long do you stay on a webpage that appears non-responsive? And if, as a customer, you experience this all too frequently, how long before you change to a provider with good service?

Seems every site I go to wants to do precisely that - cap the machine to contain (software) costs. And squeeze it further all the time. I haven't looked at zcost, but from the webpage it looks like it merely manages the target weight/defined capacity dynamically for you. But lots of people are doing that manually, believe me. SCRT is king.
