Ok, what you've sent so far gives me an idea of what you did.  My readtwice
changes were similar, except I used the cgroup interface directly instead of
docker and shared a filesystem between all the cgroups whereas it looks like
you had one per memcg.  30 second runs on 5.9-rc2 and v18 gave 11% more data
read with v18.  This was using 16 cgroups (32 dd tasks) on a 40 CPU, 2 socket
machine.

Using thousands of memcgs to do what?  Any particulars about the type of
workload?  Surely it's more complicated than page cache reads :)

Neither kernel compile nor git checkout in the root cgroup changed much, just
0.31% slower on elapsed time for the compile, so no significant regressions
there.  Now for sysbench again.
