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.
Directive syntax: TIMESLICE = min,max (msec.)
Default value: 32,248
Multiple occurrences: No
Affects protected mode: Yes
Affects real mode: Yes
Example: TIMESLICE = 64,128
