We had this discussion when I worked at a large insurance company twenty years
ago. I wanted to charge for SRB time; the ops manager didn't. I said that after
step one of a 99 step accounting process we'd be wrong by 10%, and asked how
far off we be after step 99. To make a long story short, we did it his way.
Twenty years ago there were only two kinds of SRBs (global and local)
and they were scheduled in limited situations by (primarily) "the
system". These days, you have preemptible, client, and enclave SRBs
being scheduled by applications and middleware, as well as by "the
system". The landscape has changed considerably.
