//
// bytesScanned = scanRate * rateConv * nCores * u
// bytesAllocated = allocRate * rateConv * nCores * (1 - u)

// maintain it. Specifically, they act to prevent too many bytes being allocated
// compared to how many bytes are scanned. It directly defines the ratio of
// bytesScanned to bytesAllocated over this period, hence:
//
// assistRatio = bytesScanned / bytesAllocated
//
// From this, we can solve for utilization, because everything else has already
// been determined:
//
// assistRatio = (scanRate * rateConv * nCores * u) / (allocRate * rateConv * nCores * (1 - u))
// assistRatio = (scanRate * u) / (allocRate * (1 - u))
// assistRatio * allocRate * (1-u) = scanRate * u
// assistRatio * allocRate - assistRatio * allocRate * u = scanRate * u
// assistRatio * allocRate = assistRatio * allocRate * u + scanRate * u
// assistRatio * allocRate = (assistRatio * allocRate + scanRate) * u
// u = (assistRatio * allocRate) / (assistRatio * allocRate + scanRate)

// Note that this may give a utilization that is _less_ than GCBackgroundUtilization,
