The bucketing algorithm uses a logarithmic function currently:
n * log2(x)
with n being different for timing/memory distributions
It's only documented in the code itself (and due to how it's structured not immediately visible with the exact numbers per type).
We should put these functions (and the reason why they work for us) in the Glean SDK book.

It seems to be documented here in the first section -- maybe just make it more prominent somehow?

True, Frank and I missed that, plus it would be good to have the mathematical formula noted somewhere.

Maybe we could use MathML=
