From reading this thread, it seems like the documentation issues here
have been fixed.  There were also some tangents, but separate bug
reports were filed for those.  So it doesn't seem like there's nothing
more to do here, and I'm closing this bug.

As always, please report back if there's something I missed.  Please
open new bug reports for any remaining issues that are not related to
the documentation changes discussed here.  Thanks in advance.

1. "how much resource" is not good English.  How much of a given
   resource or how many resources, not how much resource.  "Resource" is
   a countable noun.

2. "See the functions 'benchmark-run' and 'benchmark-run-compiled'".
   Those are macros, not functions.  And it should probably mention
   command `benchmark'.

3. The node should say something about library `elp', or it should not
   mention it.  The approach should be similar to what is said about
   library `benchmark.el', at a minimum.

4. A simple example of using the profiler commands would be welcome.
