That's cpu subsystem - fair group scheduler. You can try it with a new kernel:
	# mount -t cgroup -o cpu xxx /mnt

But it's soft limit not hard limit, I mean, if you limit a group's cpu time to 20%,
it can get 100% if no other processes in other groups are running.

And this cpu subsystem is still far from perfect, Peter Zijlstra is working on it.
