Ah, good point. I've switched over to your group setup for testing.

Initially it looked promising. I put pid 2498 in group A, and pids 2499
and 2500 in group B. 2498 got basically a full cpu, and the other two
got 50% each.
However, I then moved pid 2499 from group B to group A, and the system
got stuck in the following behaviour:
2498 cfriesen 20 0 3800 392 336 R 99.7 0.0 3:00.22 cat
2500 cfriesen 20 0 3800 392 336 R 66.7 0.0 1:39.10 cat
2499 cfriesen 20 0 3800 392 336 R 33.0 0.0 1:24.31 cat
I reproduced this a number of times.
Chris
