"Greg was not sure that it's all worth it. He does not expect that there will be a lot of sharing of writable pages between control groups in the real world."
On a typical desktop Linux computer most of that is probably GL buffers / memory shared between application, X server and compositor... X & compositor might be in separate group from applications. But I don't think the amounts are normally that significant compared to the whole memory in the computer.

Not sure if it is still true with more recent Firefoxes but I remember that the Firefox web browser around version 2 would easily use over 300 MB of X memory on heavy image sites. On a 512 MB machine this was more than 50%.
I wasn't using control groups back then of course.
