With switchticks variable being reset each time thread preempted (that is done regularly by interrupt threads) scheduling quantum may never expire. It was not noticed in time because several other factors still regularly trigger context switches. Handle the problem by replacing that mechanism with its equivalent from SCHED_ULE called time slice. It is effectively the same, just measured in context of stathz instead of hz. Some unification is probably not bad.
