As I said before, and as Dev verified, the load value of the HN is not a primary indicator of the server being *slow*, overrun, overcommited, or generally a problem situation. Sinces your VEs have a low cpu limit, their running procs get queued. Since the load is just the number of processes that are "trying to run at the same time", this should seem normal. Think if one VE had a cpulimit of 2 (very very low) and launched 50 concurrent running processes. This would absolutely add 50 to your HN load while using very little cpu resources. In this case, despite your HN having a load of 50, your server is extremely responsive, the other VEs are uneffected, and overall there is no general problem.
You put the cfq scheduler definition in the grub.conf as a boot argument to your kernel.
