I think that minute-by-minute usage of main memory could be accounted for in the same manor as CPU can be done if you start with the MONITOR data instead of the ACCOUNTING data. I think the current ACCOUNTING data is insufficient for a good chargeback system. Although with today's LINUX workloads

Maybe more readable to some but not to others. If you take the symbols at face value, \=, not equal to, is more readable than , is less than or greater than. I guess it depends on whether you first encountered the notion in mathematics or programming. To me, the not equal too is more natural.
