+// PerformanceCounter is a class that can be used to keep track of
+// runnable execution times and dispatch counts.
+//
+// - runnable execution time: time spent in a runnable when called
+// in nsThread::ProcessNextEvent (not counting recursive calls)
+// - dispatch counts: number of times a tracked runnable is dispatched
+// in nsThread. Useful to measure the activity of a tab or worker.
+//
+// The PerformanceCounter class is currently instantiated in DocGroup
+// and WorkerPrivate in order to count how many scheduler dispatches
+// are done through them, and how long the execution lasts.
+//
+// The execution time is calculated by the nsThread class (and its
+// inherited WorkerThread class) in its ProcessNextEvent method.
+//
+// For each processed runnable, nsThread will reach out the
+// PerformanceCounter attached to the runnable via its DocGroup
+// or WorkerPrivate and call IncrementExecutionDuration()
+//
+// Notice that the execution duration counting takes into account
+// recursivity. If an event triggers a recursive call to
+// nsThread::ProcessNextEVent, the counter will discard the time
+// spent in sub events.
