// recharge rate is calculated using a piecewise linear recharge curve:
//
// totalRecharge = curve(sumRecharge)
// (totalRecharge >= sumRecharge is enforced)
//
// Then the "bonus" buffer recharge is distributed between currently recharging
// clients proportionally to their minimum recharge rates.

// serving threads. A recharge value of 1000000 corresponds to one thread in average.
// The maximum number of allowed serving threads should always be considerably
// higher than the targeted average number.

// Note 2: although it is possible to specify a curve allowing the total target
// recharge starting from zero sumRecharge, it makes sense to add a linear ramp
// starting from zero in order to not let a single low-priority client use up
// the entire server capacity and thus ensure quick availability for others at
