1. A method for scheduling processes within an operating system based upon virtual server identifiers, wherein the operating system supports multiple virtual servers that operate within separate virtual environments on a single computing platform, the method comprising:

  • detecting an event that causes a scheduling priority for a process to be updated;

    looking up a virtual server identifier for the process, wherein the virtual server identifier specifies a virtual server and an associated virtual environment that the process operates within;

    using the virtual server identifier to look up a scheduling priority associated with the virtual server; and

    calculating an updated scheduling priority for the process based upon the scheduling priority associated with the virtual server.
