Just as a postscript, this (very new) problem we are having turns out
to have nothing to do with memory etc, at least not directly.
Instead, the following process in the virtual machine seems to be the
problem:

python /usr/local/sage/local/bin/twistd --pidfile=sage_notebook/
twistd.pid -ny sage_notebook/twistedconf.tac

It consumes between 99% and 100% of all CPU on the VM whenever one
attempts to evaluate, e.g., 2+2.  For minutes on end, with no other
users doing anything.  Eventually, when people give up or the
calculation ends or is interrupted, it goes back to a quiescent
state.  It starts up immediately upon starting the machine, which is
done with the additional instruction

su - notebook

but everything else is the same as anywhere else.  For instance each
new worksheet or user or whatever is via

bash -c ulimit -v 500000; sage -python -u

On my own installation of 3.4 I have similar extremely slow issues in
the notebook, e.g. checking whether a Legendre symbol is + or -1 takes
around two minutes, with a huge amount due to this process.
