I don't think so.

in global lru, active vs inactive anon ratio is controlled by 
inactive_anon_is_low().
but memcg doesn't have any sililar things.

thus, this patch increase active anon. and too many active page cause
decrease reclaim throuput.

yes, We should implement SEQ replacement reclaim (like global reclaim)
for memcg.
I'm working on this.
