I already tried CPU setting, but the guest will see half of the real
frequency of my host CPU: this isn't cpu overcommit, I am just saying to
allocate half of my 8 cpu to that VM (or not?).

What I am trying to achieve is what I already do with other KVM-based
virtualization platforms:

allocating to every VM much more cpu than actually available on the host
(ex: 16 VMs with VCPU = 4 and CPU = 1), so a single VM can get a lot of
cpu power when needed.
In the case there are many VM using a lot of cpu, it will be equally
shared among them by the Linux process scheduler on the host.

Am I missing something? Is this a bad practice?

Thanks.
