Yes, that is a definite advantage of OpenVZ and Linux-VServer. (I use Linux-VServer; I find it simpler.) By default there is no limit, but you can place a limit on the CPU / RAM / disk space consumed by a VM if you want to. Also note that the type of virtualization implemented by OpenVZ and Linux-VServer is lightweight enough that it's conceivable that you might run VMWare or a Xen guest inside a VM.
