We definitely have real workloads where a job is allocating lots of slab memory (e.g. network socket buffers, dentry/inode objects, etc) and we want to be able to account the memory usage to each job rather than having all the slab scattered around unidentifiably, and to reduce fragmentation (so when a job finishes, all its sockets close and all its files are deleted, there's a better chance that we'll be able to reclaim some slab memory). We could probably turn those into more synthetic benchmarkable loads if necessary for demonstration.
