Previously, the timer was used to remember the state of the time slices. This was sufficient before priorities entered the scene as a thread always received a fresh time slice when he was scheduled away. However, with priorities this isn't always the case. A thread can be preempted by another thread due to a higher priority. In this case the low-priority thread must remember how much time he has consumed from its current time slice because the timer gets re-programmed. Otherwise, if we have high-priority threads that block and unblock with high frequency, the head of the next lower priority would start with a fresh time slice all the time and is never superseded. fix #1287
