I think I really need some study on cgroup first...I've done some totally useless
test :( , but still confused that why sys time reduced?

And I got a server with Redhat now, so I will do:

1. cgcreate -g cpu:/subcg1
2. echo $$ > /cgroup/cpu/subcg1/tasks
3. open another shell
4. do 1~3 multi times, plan to get 7 cpu cgroup with 7 shell attached to each one.
5. run kernbench in each shell

Please tell me if I missed some thing :)
