+ * Cooldown system based on an datum-level associative lazylist using timers.
+ * If you are running hot procs that require high performance, checking world.time directly through a variable will always be faster.
+ * If you are not, then this should be fine to use, it's not very expensive.
+ * If you want a stoppable timer either make new macros or use a different system. Do not make every timer stoppable, that increases performance cost.
