sure, that can be done. the old timer classes don't have too many use cases really anyways it looks like.

the time tracker class is having a fundamental issue that it does not handle large diff times well. if you have a lag spike which would equal two timer cycles, you would lose one

I was actually using this as a pre-requisite change that effectively redoes the world update timers but I can do that first with the old IntervalTimer without redoing a bunch of crap

which is for example why I resorted to a simple variable timer for heartbeats. so it can catch up on potentially lost ticks

if you have a large lag spike (longer than two cycles)

you would want to spread the load over multiple update ticks anyway

so we need to track the deltatime and increment the remaining time instead of hard-reseting it

which means that as long as the timer preserves that data (instead of truncating to 0) then its fine if stuff happens on two update ticks one after another
