What I figured out. It happens in intersection of 3 features: *irq time accounting *stolen time accounting *linux guest with tickless idle only (not fully tickless) Looks like timer interrupts storm is happening during this benchmark (with 2:1 cpu overcommit). irq time accounting gets crazy. Even 'top' shows weird statistic: 50% hi, 50% st, ~0% user, spinning processes use ~0% cpu - that is not correct. Thanks.
