I was taught its wrong to use resource pools as organisational folders in vmware.

Someone I'm working with has 15 resource pools on their HA cluster, with about 120 VM's spread through them. Is it a correct statement to say:

Even though no settings are assigned to these pools, all use defaults, each pool only has 6% (100/15) of the cluster resource assigned to it, so if one of these pools has 6 VM's in it, each one will get 1% of the cluster. But if another resource pool only has 2 vm's, then each of those will get 3% of the cluster. - You end up with uneven performing VMs across the cluster even though you think they are the same.
