I think it makes sense, or also make it a configurable parameter? From 
the test reports of 0Day, these charging/counting play critical role
in performance (easy to see up to 60% performance effect). If user only
wants memcg for isolating things or doesn't care charging/stats, these
seem to be extra taxes.

For bumping to 64 or 128, universal improvement is expected with the
only concern of accuracy.
