Steal time is reported in the CPU time fields in /pro c/stat as st. It is automatically reported by
utilities such as to p and vmstat, and cannot be switched off.
Large amounts of steal time indicate CPU contention, which can reduce guest performance. To
relieve CPU contention, increase the guest's CPU priority or CPU quota, or run fewer guests on the
host.
