VPS (on Xen, KVM, ...) are all fine and dandy if you control the underlying host machine.

Good luck going with a provider that overbook their machines beyond usefulness (most do).

I edit and compile code all day long on a Linode 512. It's always responsive. I actually think most other people at this tier level aren't using their CPUs (or, probably, servers) at all.

You're probably right. I have a Linode 512 as well and I haven't used it since that $100 credit promo when I purchased it.
