In my previous job, where we did the other bits, we did some testing
on developer systems; our conclusion was that LXC was at least a
couple of years from being useful in the real world based on a pretty
much endless collection of shortfalls and bugs in testing.
My very strong hope is that it will stabilise and one of the
implementations built on the kernel tools (because the libvirt LXC and
plain LXC projects are entirely different user-space code) will become
the standard for doing this inside Linux.

We never saw much benefit, and were pretty happy that we got better
memory use overall from OpenVZ containers rather than KVM machines
even where they were identical.
