If we do NOT run enforce_schedule at every checkpoint, we have to remove
the test for has the task checkpointed very recently, which means that
normal task switches will lose work.

Which begs the question if we DIDN'T do it at every checkpoint (or time)
but rather based upon TSI would things improve? I don't know the answer and
i'm sure nobody else does either, but plenty of people have their
opinion.
Given the differences of opinion regarding this, perhaps we could have a
test version that does the checking based upon events rather than
events + time. The only way we are going to know for sure if it improves
things is to try it and see what it does. My suggestion is we have a test
build that is based only on events and the ability to turn off
checkpointing as being one of those events. We can test it and provide some
facts.
