// This event 'runs' for the lifetime of the worker thread.  The actual
// eventqueue is mEvents, and is shared by all the worker threads.  This
// means that the set of threads together define the delay seen by a new
// event sent to the pool.
//
// To model the delay experienced by the pool, we can have each thread in
// the pool report 0 if it's idle OR if the pool is below the threadlimit;
// or otherwise the current event's queuing delay plus current running
// time.
//
// To reconstruct the delays for the pool, the profiler can look at all the
// threads that are part of a pool (pools have defined naming patterns that
// can be user to connect them).  If all threads have delays at time X,
// that means that all threads saturated at that point and any event
// dispatched to the pool would get a delay.
//
// The delay experienced by an event dispatched when all pool threads are
// busy is based on the calculations shown in platform.cpp.  Run that
// algorithm for each thread in the pool, and the delay at time X is the
// longest value for time X of any of the threads, OR the time from X until
// any one of the threads reports 0 (i.e. it's not busy), whichever is
// shorter.

// In order to record this when the profiler samples threads in the pool,
// each thread must (effectively) override GetRunnningEventDelay, by
// resetting the mLastEventDelay/Start values in the nsThread when we start
// to run an event (or when we run out of events to run).  Note that handling
// the shutdown of a thread may be a little tricky.
