Could this be due to the lack of the 100Hz timer pop?
With a truly "idle" Linux instance you're measuring utilization
from *inside* a rubberized room- this is kind of a "software"
example of the Lorentz-Fitzgerald contraction- your ruler is
changing it's length as the virtuality takes effect. Even if,
in this instance, the ruler is a clock :-)
