Well, not that hard, I believe.

and given the benchmarks I've run in this iteration, I think it wouldn't
be that much of a performance impact either. We just need to account it 
to a task whenever we account it for a control group. Now that the 
functions where accounting are done are abstracted away, it is even 
quite few places to touch.
