There always were some delay on writing. It reproduces easily, you have to create some 1000 groups (may be it can be enough to create 1 group, I didn't check it actually) and write pid to a task file of the group. I described it in my first message. Delays on reading appeared when there began an active rotation of proccesses in task files and may be by renewing of counters (cpuacct.stat, memory.stat) due to the cgroups hierarchy. LA has grown from 10 to 500 and all the programms that read cgroups files in /proc (htop for example) practically stopped working. -- BRGDS.
