If you were to believe the author, his VPS wasn't causing high CPU usage.

Regardless, doesn't most vps instances have limitations built into their VPS instances? It shouldn't matter to other VPS in that box how much CPU is being used by other VPS, as long as they are within their limitations?

That was my experience with slicehost and other VPS

Except most providers grossly oversell their VPS instances just like bandwidth, and when someone actually starts using 100% of their quoted capacity, it throws everything out of equilibrium.
