…interpretation (fixes JuliaSmoothOptimizers#35) - Explain what τ (performance ratio) and ρ (fraction solved) represent - Add key interpretation guidelines for reading performance profiles - Document customization options (lw, color, linestyles, etc.) - List additional parameters (logscale, sampletol, title) - Add reference to Dolan & Moré 2002 paper - Improve tutorial structure with clearer sections

Explained the parameters:
τ (tau): Performance ratio - how much slower compared to the best solver
ρ(τ) (rho): Fraction of problems solved within performance ratio τ
Added interpretation guidelines:
Left side (τ=1): fraction of problems where solver was fastest
Right side: solver robustness (total problems solved)
Higher curves = better performance
Documented customization options:
Line properties: lw, c/color, linestyles
Labels: xlabel, ylabel, title
Legend positioning
Listed additional function parameters:
logscale: x-axis scaling
sampletol: data sampling tolerance
title: plot title
Added academic reference to the original Dolan & Moré paper
