If I recall, cpuacct was prototyped by Paul Menage (and later modified
by Balbir) as a way to demonstrate cgroup controller ..It was one
of those "first" cgroups controllers written to demonstrate how cgroups worked.

With regard to its value, it does provide a handy interface to measure
cpu utilization of cgroups (vs having to manually sum up task's
utilization) and afaik libvirt makes use of it (although I
don't think anyone reads it at "high" frequency).
