-------------------------------
* It allows our performance analysis to move forward without insignificant details getting in the way of the problem at hand. Our goal should always be to keep situations as simple as practically possible. Added complexity and precision take effort and resources that should not be expended unless absolutely necessary.
* All time is accounted for; that is, time is not lost or unaccounted for. It is simply classified in an abstracted and summarized format.
* Significant queuing begins to occur near the elbow of the curve, which happens between 80% to 90% depending on the number of CPU cores. When evaluating alternative firefighting solutions, we want to be nowhere near the elbow of the curve!
