+// TimeSlicer allows you to create a background job to perform while not blocking
+// the main GUI thread. You give it the max percentage of CPU it should use, call star()
+// and it'll start calling onSlice as many times as it can without using more cpu than requested
+//
+// To use this class, you need to break down your job into multiple tiny chunks that
+// you perform in onSlice. Typical uses include adding files to or filtering entries from
+// the database, driving state machines, etc.
+// 
+// onSlice will be called multiple times per timer.
