Is there any setting to isolate the LXC container from sharing the 'load' from the host in top/htop?

Was a little shocked when looking at load of 1.5 in the container with nothing running until I figured out what was going on. Can make solving load issues in a container pretty difficult and also make monitoring containers/services difficult via SNMP etc.
 
This is not a bug or an issue with Proxmox.

LXC does not currently support an individual load value per a container.

The load avg's shown in the container are node wide, it has been discussed on LXC multiple times but it is not yet found a simple and accurate way to report a container only load.
 
The main thing that annoys me is "dmesg -c" in a LXC wipes the logs messages from the primary host!
Maybe there's a way to fix this too.
But it's just part and parcel of LXC's. They're not 100% seperation.
