 // Minimum mutator utilization (MMU) graphing.
 
+// TODO:
+//
+// In worst window list, show break-down of GC utilization sources
+// (STW, assist, etc). Probably requires a different MutatorUtil
+// representation.
+//
+// When a window size is selected, show a second plot of the mutator
+// utilization distribution for that window size.
+//
+// Render plot progressively so rough outline is visible quickly even
+// for very complex MUTs. Start by computing just a few window sizes
+// and then add more window sizes.
+//
+// Consider using sampling to compute an approximate MUT. This would
+// work by sampling the mutator utilization at randomly selected
+// points in time in the trace to build an empirical distribution. We
+// could potentially put confidence intervals on these estimates and
+// render this progressively as we refine the distributions.
