This makes sense.. another part of the problem, which you might already
have spotted is selecting a task to swap with.
If you only look at per task faults its often impossible to find a
suitable swap task because moving you to a more suitable node would
degrade the other task -- below a patch you've already seen but I
haven't yet posted because I'm not at all sure its something 'sane' :-)
With group information your case might be stronger because you already
have many tasks on that node.
Still there's the tie where there's two groups with each exactly half
their tasks crossed between two nodes. I suppose we should forcefully
tie break in this case.
And all this while also maintaining the invariants placed by the regular
balancer. It would be no good to move tasks about if the balancer would
then have to shuffle stuff right back (or worse) in order to maintain
fairness.
