    You do need a timer, but it shouldn't slow anything down. The timer code only runs when the tick is reached, not all the time.

    The alternative to using a Timer would be a background thread that gets slept repeatedly. That will not be any more efficient than a Timer though.

    There are several examples in the CodeBank. If you search for the word marquee then you should find them. One of them is mine, so you can also find it from the CodeBank link in my signature.
