It would also be nice if we had: BTW, one of the way OpenVZ users determine how much memory they need for containers is the following: they set the limits to maximal values and then check the "maxheld" (i.e. the maximal level of consumption over the time) value. Currently, we don't have such in res_counters and I'm going to implement this.
