The intro is a bit verbose and redundant. Simplify it by replacing details with more links to the design docs, and refining the design points list.

The core -monitoring :ref:`mechanisms ` of DAMON make it - - - *accurate* (the monitoring output is useful enough for DRAM level memory - management; It might not appropriate for CPU Cache levels, though), - - *light-weight* (the monitoring overhead is low enough to be applied online), - and - - *scalable* (the upper-bound of the overhead is in constant range regardless - of the size of target workloads). - -Using this framework, therefore, the kernel can operate system in an -access-aware fashion. Because the features are also exposed to the :doc:`user -space `, users who have special information about -their workloads can write personalized applications for better understanding -and optimizations of their workloads and systems. - -For easier development of such systems, DAMON provides a feature called -:ref:`DAMOS ` (DAMon-based Operation Schemes) in addition -to the monitoring.
