Can't really remember I'm afraid, but that sounds plausible, I think the
figures collected from /proc are a total amount of CPU time used for
each container, so to determine usage, you have to take two readings and
divide by elapsed time.  The figure you get is the total across all CPU
cores.

Dunno.  Email the developers and see if they'd be willing to accept a
patch in principle?

If not (or in any case) - I wonder if a "dstat" plugin might be a good
solution?

Actually I just looked at the dstat man page, and there seems to be a
--vz-cpu option already....
