    Yes @willb I have the same concern. I think in other contexts "overhead" 
refers to the additional space, not the total space, so an "overhead fraction" 
of 0.15 means we use extra space that is equal to 15% of the original memory. 
It will be confusing if we expose a "fraction" config that has a value of 1.15.
    
    However, even with the latest changes this is still inconsistent with what 
we do for yarn. I think there is value in having an equivalent config for Mesos 
rather than one that is semantically different.
