Seems like it should be possible to prevent "abuse" (i.e. people
loading their OpenSpace sims to an extent that hurts the performance
of the others on the same machine) by appropriate fiddling with the
operating system or hypervisor or whatever. Talk to the techies, and
put in CKRM policies or whatever to ensure that each sim process gets
at least its fair share of the CPU. (If it's about disk access or
network bandwidth rather than CPU, there are perhaps similar things
that would let you do similar things for those.)

I'd go further by dynamically renicing "abusive" sim processes down,
but that's just me.......
