Issue

On OpenShift with hard cpu limits we noticed java applications were not be allowed to use their entire quota. This particularly affected massively threaded applications. For example if you assign 1 cpu to an application, it only ever maxed out at using .1 cpu while also hitting throttling the entire time it was running. This results in having to massively over-provision applications thereby wasting resources on the nodes.
