As lined out in #8677, having too many task groups can make the on-demand calculation of the statistics prohibitively expensive.
Solution
We have a few places within the TaskPrefix where we loop over all its groups. Refactoring this to eager updates of aggregated values would avoid the problems faced in #8677 altogether, allow us to keep using the TaskProgress dashboard even if we have many task groups, and be a more widely-applicable improvement.
