// costTracker is responsible for calculating costs and cost estimates on the
// server side. It continuously updates the global cost factor which is defined
// as the number of cost units per nanosecond of serving time in a single thread.
// It is based on statistics collected during serving requests in high-load periods
// and practically acts as a one-dimension request price scaling factor over the
// pre-defined cost estimate table.
//
// The reason for dynamically maintaining the global factor on the server side is:
// the estimated time cost of the request is fixed(hardcoded) but the configuration
// of the machine running the server is really different. Therefore, the request serving
// time in different machine will vary greatly. And also, the request serving time
// in same machine may vary greatly with different request pressure.
//
// In order to more effectively limit resources, we apply the global factor to serving
// time to make the result as close as possible to the estimated time cost no matter
// the server is slow or fast. And also we scale the totalRecharge with global factor
// so that fast server can serve more requests than estimation and slow server can
// reduce request pressure.
//
// Instead of scaling the cost values, the real value of cost units is changed by
// applying the factor to the serving times. This is more convenient because the
// changes in the cost factor can be applied immediately without always notifying
// the clients about the changed cost tables.
