This may be because sandboxed containers handle a low volume of requests, and it is therefore important to achieve high densities for efficiency. -{{< graph id="density" url="/performance/density.csv" title="perf.py density --runtime=runc --runtime=runsc" log="true" y_min="100000">}} +{{< graph id="density" url="/performance/density.csv" title="perf.py density --runtime=runc --runtime=runsc" log="true" y_min="100000" >}} The above figure demonstrates these costs based on three sample applications.

The first application is an instance of `sleep`: a trivial application that does nothing.
