[Bogdan-Andrei Iancu]

Hi Henning,

there is no dependency between the timer processes. So, if a module 
requests one, he can do whatever it wants there without bothering 
anybody ;).

The current plan is to use such process(es) for nathelper (working on 
that) and maybe in the future to split the default timer process in two 
- for fast and accurate processing and for slow and permissive processing.

Regards,
Bogdan
