Turning off a meter was the only to transparently stop one or more
domains. As far as I know, outside of measuring CPU usage, stopping
processes was the only actual use of meters. There never was any code
which used them for scheduling in the model of schedulers in e.g. Unix.
Does this mean that the process control function (transparently
halting a group of processes) could, in your view, be seperated from
the issue of determining how many cycles a process should be given?
