    this works when you are an administrator of a single linux machine. Now
    imagine, you can run Virtual Environments (VE) each with it's own root
    and users. You can't and don't want to control what and how people are
    running. Sure, you limit the number of processes, but usually this won't
    be less then 50-100 processes per VE, so a single VE can lead to 50
    tasks in a running state and the total number of tasks in the system can
    be as high as 10,000. People can run setiathome or any other sh$t which
    consumes CPU, but the result is always the same - huge amount of running
    tasks leads to overall slowdown. So this is the case when you want to
    limits _users_ or VE, not _single_ tasks. I don't think you will succeed
    in managing 10,000 tasks when 100 active users change the load on the
    day basis.

    Hope, it become more clear.

    Thanks,
