There is only one select() call (or whatever) at any given time, regardless of how many timers. Syscalls are thus O(1). Timers are stored in sorted order. When event loop wakes up it removes timers that have been reached, which is fast because they're sorted so when you hit one that is still in future you can stop. So that's pretty scalable.
