It would be nice if Cloudmin would also allow some plans/systems to have burstable cpu rather than a fixed %.

Similar to memory balloning, where you can set a minimum and maximum. It makes sense to let systems to consume more cpu if its available in the host. It means a more efficient way to maximize resources. If all systems are taxing CPU then they could use their max limits set per system, if there is iddle cpu, then allow that systems more access.
