I am transferring into Trac what was [http://rt.perl.org/rt3/Ticket/Display.html?id=49718 RT #49718]. That RT was closed when our JIT was deprecated, but a reference to RT #49718 remained in a `TODO`-ed test in ''t/pmc/timer.t''. That `TODO` must be tracked in a Trac ticket.

In the original RT, chromatic noted: ''"At least four tests fail with the new scheduler under the JIT ...
I believe that this is because the JIT core doesn't emit instructions to call `Parrot_cx_handle_tasks()` often enough. These tests probably won't pass until this happens."''
