In the relaxed co-scheduling algorithm a leading vCPU decides whether it should co-stop itself based on the skew against the slowest sibling vCPU. If the skew is greater than a threshold the leading vCPU co-stops itself. Note that a lagging vCPU is one that makes significantly less progress than the fastest sibling vCPU while a leading vCPU is one that makes significantly more progress than the slowest sibling vCPU.
