0.1 second (or so) is definitely not "rapid". Math? It's one comparison. An 
alternative is to set the timer period to the initial delay and then change its 
rate when the callback is first called.

Anyway, it's your code, do as you like - I just dislike cascading timers like 
that, it seems inelegant. Maybe it's my hardware background - an equivalent 
approach in hardware would always look like a kludge (and be costly - every 
chip saved is well, a chip saved).
