I think it can be summed up as “average CPU utilization, which is the common and intuitive first check doesn’t tell you the real story”

I would also suggest that these are “outdated” measurements as common CPU metrics are really designed for moderately multi-threaded, single-foreground-application on bare metal

To your point, someone who deeply understands the stack already knows these are not the metrics to look at, but this is clearly aimed at people who have not (yet) had to dive deep to figure out a scheduling issue
