I would believe that whatever entity it was releasing circa 1975 is clearly a non-issue now. I believe the concept was spokes on a wheel where each slice was a user's exclusive use of the processor and the RQM caused your pie slice to conclude and you had to wait until it went around again.
It made sense with the TIMESLICE command to increase your 'slice'. If the concept of the processor managing the users in such a circular fashion (albeit screamingly faster) then releasing one's 'slice' would be so incrementally tiny that it would not even matter. One could argue that the NULL command is equally long in its duration.
