    I think we can do a pretty well guess by killing the task with higher
    allocation rate. I don't like much looking other information because they
    could be misleading and they simply complicate the equation. I'd prefer
    doing the decision looking only the allocation rate and to see what
    happens. At the moment we don't have an allocation rate information and to
    gather it we'll have to harm (a little) a fast path...
