[OpenSIPS-Users] What does exactally mean lots of warnings about timer_ticker in the log (OpenSIPS 2.1)?

[Eric Tamme]

I believe this has been refactored under 2.X as a result ofthe async 
work.  I think the new settings are "timer partitions" here is the tm 
documentation discussing the timer partition setting: 
http://www.opensips.org/html/docs/modules/2.1.x/tm.html#id294483
