  *
  * Here, we do not know how large would be the collection set, and what are the
  * relative performances of the each stage in the concurrent cycle, and so we have to
  * make some assumptions.
  *
- * We assume, for pessimistic reasons, that the entire heap is full of alive objects,
- * and it will be evacuated fully. Therefore, we count live objects visited by all three
- * stages against the heap used at the beginning of the collection. That means if there
- * are dead objects, they would not be accounted for in this budget, and that would mean
- * allocation would be pacified excessively. But that *also* means the collection cycle
- * would finish earlier than pacer expects.
+ * For concurrent mark, there is no clear notion of progress. The moderately accurate
+ * and easy to get metric is the amount of live objects the mark had encountered. But,
+ * that does directly correlate with the used heap, because the heap might be fully
+ * dead or fully alive. We cannot assume either of the extremes: we would either allow
+ * application to run out of memory if we assume heap is fully dead but it is not, and,
+ * conversely, we would pacify application excessively if we assume heap is fully alive
+ * but it is not. So we need to guesstimate the particular expected value for heap liveness.
+ * The best way to do this is apparently recording the past history.
+ *
+ * For concurrent evac and update-refs, we are walking the heap per-region, and so the
+ * notion of progress is clear: we get reported the "used" size from the processed regions
+ * and use the global heap-used as the baseline.
  *
  * The allocatable space when GC is running is "free" at the start of cycle, but the
  * accounted budget is based on "used". So, we need to adjust the tax knowing that.
  * Also, since we effectively count the used space three times (mark, evac, update-refs),
  * we need to multiply the tax by 3. Example: for 10 MB free and 90 MB used, GC would
