  <modulesummary>Measure scheduler utilization</modulesummary>
  <description>
    <p>This module contains utility functions for easier measurement and
    calculation of scheduler utilization, otherwise obtained from calling the
    more primitive <seeerl marker="erts:erlang#statistics_scheduler_wall_time">
    <c>statistics(scheduler_wall_time)</c></seeerl>.</p>
    <p>The simplest usage is to call <seemfa marker="#utilization/1">
    <c>scheduler:utilization(Seconds)</c></seemfa>.</p>
