PURPOSE:
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
     Changing the exec quantum time slice ('Quantum') may in some cases
     give a 'snappier' computer and speed increases when multitasking.

     Read the documentation for more details.

TESTING:
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
    TEST 1:
    (compiling a rather large c-source file, and having three other tasks
     busywaiting at the same priority. Stupid, but hey, this is a test...:)
