This really doesn't bother me. What bothers me is how much of my RAM is likely to page out to disk somewhere because it's oversold and if the CPU is being hammered with context switches and cache waits. If that's zero, this argument is moot as my datasets will run entirely from RAM and I'll pick a VM that has the capacity to do this.
