- TTimer is implemented including defining the timeout constant for calls to CheckSynchronize() as the greatest common denominator of the "Time" property of all enabled TTimer instances in the project (i.e. a simple timer that accumulates delays imposed by MainThread activities)
I wouldn't use the timeout constant for this. If you have two timers of which the greatest common denominator is 1, but nevertheless rather large (e.g. two primes) then you'd loop unnecessarily (I know this is a constructed example, but nevertheless one should care for this!). I'd instead suggest to implement the timerloop of each timer as a thread that waits its timeout time on a event (so that it can also be stopped) and then notifies the mainthread using Queue().
