The ticks matter when the threads are competing for cpu, but it looks
like in your case they'll mostly be waiting for socket calls (during
which the schedular will hand off to another thread anyway), so
increasing the timeslice frequency is probably not going to make a
difference. Hard to know without testing of course.
