The implementation has some issues with fixed point math limitations on
deep hierarchies/large cpu count, but yes.

Doing soft-float/bignum just isn't going to be popular I guess ;-)

People also don't seem to understand that each extra cgroup carries a
cost and that nested cgroups are more expensive still, even if the
intermediate levels are mostly empty (libvirt is a good example of how
not to do things).

Anyway, I guess what I'm saying is that we need to work on the awareness
of cost associated with all this cgroup nonsense, people seem to think
its all good and free -- or not think at all, which, while depressing,
seem the more likely option.
