Yes.. if you start them at once, but if they are incrementally
added and started it is O(n^2)

There are some other options, I am sure Chandra will probably have
more.

1. Reclaim resources from other containers. This can be done well for
user-pages, if we ensure that each container does not mlock more
than its guaranteed share of memory.
2. Provide best effort guarantees for non-reclaimable memory
3. oom-kill a container or a task within a resource group that has
exceeded its guarantee and some other container is unable to meet its
guarantee
