Title: Change ticks from timer to more efficient erlang:send_after

Title says it all: replace certain uses of `timer` with `erlang:send_after`. Thanks go to @Vagabond for mentioning that `erlang:send_after` uses a timer-wheel built into erts and is more efficient than the user-space `timer` module.
