 Thanks Max and Marcus for review and pushing this through.

Next step is Issue 14353 "Delay refactoring (Part 2) - change from
milliseconds to microseconds" and I started to review rebasing this onto
the latest build.  Now left over from Part 1 (
https://pharo.fogbugz.com/default.asp?14261) is lots of conditional code
wrap of the form...

self newCodeEnabled
  ifTrue: [
"my new code"
]
 ifFalse: [
"the old code"
]

However this conditional code wrap clutters things making it harder to
review changes going forward. So I was wondering it was preferable for me
to clean that out first, before pushing 14353 for review.  For Part 1 it
served a few purposes...

(1) It was required to make an instantaneous transition to the new
architecture.  However this no longer required since integration of Issue
14669 now allows the DelayScheduler to be stopped to change code without
locking the system.

(2) It provided an emergency fallback to disable the new architecture,
since this was deep-diving into critical infrastructure. However Part 1 was
integrated in November, so is that long enough for the code to have proved
itself?

(3) It allowed easy switching back and forth for benchmarking.  Maybe still
useful, but I don't think this is enough on its own to keep the
newCodeEnabled conditional code wraps.  Benchmarking can still be done on
separate build before and after integration of subsequent changes.

Please advise how you'd like me to proceed.
