1. procs sleeping via walk() are resumed (I don't know why these are first)
2. normal sleeping procs are resumed, in the order they went to sleep in the first place, this is where the MC wakes up and processes subsystems. a consequence of this is that the MC almost never resumes before other sleeping procs, because it only goes to sleep for 1 tick 99% of the time, and 99% of procs either go to sleep for less time than the MC (which guarantees that they entered the sleep queue earlier when its time to wake up) and/or were called synchronously from the MC's execution, almost all of the time the MC is the last sleeping proc to resume in any given tick. This is good because it means the MC can account for the cost of previous resuming procs in the tick, and minimizes overtime.

The master controller can derive how much of the tick was used in: procs executing before it woke up (because of world.tick_usage), and SendMaps (because of world.map_cpu, since this is a running average you cant derive the tick spent on maptick on any particular tick). It cannot derive how much of the tick was used for sleeping procs resuming after the MC ran, or for verbs executing after SendMaps.
It is for these reasons why you should heavily limit processing done in verbs, while procs resuming after the MC are rare, verbs are not, and are much more likely to cause overtime since theyre literally at the end of the tick. If you make a verb, try to offload any expensive work to the beginning of the next tick via a verb management subsystem.
