Is "Time spent in GC" the right description? I think of "pause duration" as being the time when nothing is making forward progress in the app other than GC work. Is it not that, and instead actually the total time spent doing any GC-related work, regardless of whether it's stop-the-world or not?

@cshung could you please change this as we discussed in the CR? the point @stephentoub brought up is exactly what I mentioned as well. this should be pause time, instead of "time" which is a vague term that doesn't say if it's the CPU time or pause time.

How about this?
