Interesting, I wonder why it doesn't work on VMWare, where you can actually set 
a limit in MHZ

The MHz has 2 uses that I know of in Cloudstack:
1 - it sets the CPU weight (ie priority, higher number gets higher access to 
host CPU, at least with KVM)
2 - can be used to get a statistical view of load on a hypervisor (comparing 
against the combined MHz of the physical cores).

See this from long time ago which goes further into this (credit goes to 
Marcus).
https://lists.apache.org/thread/f10qtbsnvz2df7hr8lhybfr6pwtmkbvz

It does NOT limit the actual MHz of the virtual CPU, I don't think this is even 
possible.
