Like title, I have a VM server that hosts about 15-ish VMs, and when about ~5 of them are running and I do something major on one of them (like compile software), the server gets excruciatingly slow. The SSH console even takes ~15s to respond to keyboard input, for example. How can I fix this? Shouldn't the kernel's scheduler manage the individual processes of the VMs and prevent this?

Is it too simplistic to think that the ratio you're using, 4:1 (virtual:physical) is simply too rich given the cost of running the virtualization itself requires some overhead? Do you grind to a slow pace is you're running say 4 VMs and load up one? If so, where is the choke point? 6? 7? Etc.

How much RAM is allocated to each VM? If (for example) you have 4GB of RAM (you probably have more) and you start running each with 800+ MB of RAM, you'd hit swap REALLY quickly.
