Why do you say that lxc (and cgroups) are less powerful than FreeBSD jails?
From what I read in https://wiki.freebsd.org/Jails https://wiki.freebsd.org/Jails, jails don't yet have support for:
* separate PID space
* IO isolation
cgroups provide extremely fine grained isolation, including among other things:
* per-container OOM handler (userspace)
* per-container swap
* per-container disk I/O scheduling
* per-container memory reclaim
* per-container dirty page (write throttling) limit.
These are very important features if you want to increase your utilization by mixing workload on shared machines.
