I simply assign as much resources as required to a VM, up to the real
number less one.  Why less one?

Because the host system needs a CPU that it can use to manage and
coordinate the guest systems.  Remember that virtualization effectively
means running an entire computer system as a single operating system
process (or a set of cooperating processes), meaning that the real host
will require some CPU.

Now that said, I often am able to overallocate on my VMH servers,
because most services are underutilized.  As their usage increases,
though, I'll be able to move them to another server that shares the same
storage.
