That "Gig" CPU of yours won't help you much when your box is thrashing helplessly, the idea to low overhead is to allow the box to do some work even under extreme duress. The last thing i'd like to see are the VM gods targetting large boxen only, from there your average box will suffer horribly unless under the lightest load.
