- The TIMESLICE directive controls the amount of CPU time that a thread
- will be allowed to execute (assuming it doesn't yield control
- explicitly, for example by requesting I/O or blocking on a semaphore)
- before that thread is preempted and control is given to another. The
- "maximum" parameter is the normal timeslice received by a thread. The
- "minimum" length is given to a thread when its priority is boosted
- artificially after the completion of an I/O operation.
