No here is what I am asking for

I don't want CPU control, just accounting, so I create the following groups

                          a
                       /    \
                      V    V
                      b     c

Today, with the cpu controller, the moment I create a, b and c, they
get default shares and if I put tasks, their b/w is decided by the
shares, what if I don't want control, but I want to account for their
time only?
