Using the fraction of the faults that happen on each node to
determine both the group weight and the task weight of each
node, and attempting to move the task to the node with the
highest score, seems to work fairly well.

Here are the specjbb scores with this patch, on top of your
task grouping patches:

I suspect there may be further room for improvement, but it
may be time for this patch to go into Mel's tree, so others
will test it as well, helping us all learn what is broken
and how it can be improved...
