1:4 is the default ratio a guest is assigned

I'm pretty confident somebody/something does enable the hard
scheduler on guest startup :)

I do not remember such a bug, but the kernel name suggests
that it is a distribution kernel, so it could contain
unknown modifications ....

if you really want to figure that out (I doubt it)
you have to hire somebody to look into that specific
