Detailed Description

Utility class to fire journalled time-delta events at regular intervals.

Most games and simulations need the ability to update their state based on a time-delta. However, tracking time accurately and sending out well-conditioned events (for instance, allowing no events with delta=0) tends to be platform specific. This class provides an abstraction around this platform mojo.

In addition, a well behaved application may want to alter how frequently it processes time advancement depending on its execution state. For instance, a game running in the background can significantly reduce CPU usage by only updating every 100ms, instead of trying to maintain a 1ms update update rate.
