Update timer.clj Issue description: The timer thread calculates the delay to schedule the head of the queue and sleeps accordingly. However, if a new event with high priority is inserted at the head of the queue during the sleep, this event cannot be scheduled in time. Solution: Give a upper bound to the sleeping time, to guarantee a bounded response time for detecting new events.
