-    \section2 32-bit overflows
-
-    Some of the clocks used by QElapsedTimer have a limited range and may
-    overflow after hitting the upper limit (usually 32-bit). QElapsedTimer
-    deals with this overflow issue and presents a consistent timing. However,
-    when extracting the time since reference from QElapsedTimer, two
-    different processes in the same machine may have different understanding
-    of how much time has actually elapsed.
-
-    The information on which clocks types may overflow and how to remedy that
-    issue is documented along with the clock types.
