+	// Values are then placed into sub-buckets based on the value of
+	// the next timeHistSubBucketBits most significant bits. Thus,
+	// sub-buckets are linear within a super-bucket.
+	//
+	// Therefore, the number of sub-buckets (timeHistNumSubBuckets)
+	// defines the error. This error may be computed as
+	// 1/timeHistNumSubBuckets*100%. For example, for 16 sub-buckets
+	// per super-bucket the error is approximately 6%.
+	//
+	// The number of super-buckets (timeHistNumSuperBuckets), on the
+	// other hand, defines the range. To reserve room for sub-buckets,
+	// bit timeHistSubBucketBits is the first bit considered for
+	// super-buckets, so super-bucket indicies are adjusted accordingly.
+	//
+	// As an example, consider 45 super-buckets with 16 sub-buckets.
