Good quistion.
task cgroup often different scope against memory, cputime, etc..

example.
(<> mean cgroup name)

+-----------------------------------------------------+
| <interactive> | <service> |
| #task = 1000 | #task = 5000 |
+----------------+------------------+-----------------+
| <serviceA> | <serviceB> |
| vaddr = 100GB | vaddr = 200B |
+------------------+-----------------+

tus, we have 2 choice.

1. separate 2 cgroup.
2. implement hierarchy.

I afraid to 2 cause perfomance degression.
tus, I choiced 1.
