This is true, but I don't see how it can be more performance-sensitive
than the overhead of allocating/freeing a page.

What kinds of performance regressions did you see?

What kind of overhead were you seeing? How about if you delay doing
any task accounting until the task_limit subsystem is bound to a
hierarchy? That way there's no noticeable overhead for people who
aren't using your subsystem.
