> Hi,
> 
> Please review this patch which takes into account the impact of concurrent GC activity on mutator threads when computing the time spent on GC activity in a time interval. Previously, only the GC pause times were considered, and the overhead imposed by concurrent GC worker threads was not included.
> 
> With this change, we now estimate the impact of concurrent GC by dividing `elapsed_gc_cpu_time` by the number of CPUs. This provides an approximation of the additional time attributable to GC activity, assuming a fair CPU resource sharing.  Although this method does not account for contention on other shared resources (such as memory bandwidth or caches), it offers a reasonable estimate for most scenarios.
> 
> Testing: Tier 1
