+          The workqueue tracer provides some statistical informations
+          about each cpu workqueue thread such as the number of the
+          works inserted and executed since their creation. It can help
+          to evaluate the amount of work each of them have to perform.
+          For example it can help a developer to decide whether he should
+          choose a per cpu workqueue instead of a singlethreaded one.
