Yeap, I'm aware of the issue but haven't read any actual bug reports
yet.  Can you point me to the reports?

Given that worker pool management is dynamic, spawning separate pools
for individual cgroups on-demand should be doable.  Haven't been able
to decide how much we should be willing to pay in terms of complexity
yet.

Thanks.
