+ > The purpose of this plugin is to expose information about when and how threads
+ > communicate with one another to programmers for the purpose of debugging and
+ > performance tuning. The overhead of the instrumentation and runtime code is
+ > very low -- often low enough for always-on use in production code. In a series
+ > of initial experiments the overhead was 0-10% in many important cases.
