Run a Timer on a New Thread?

[Schmidt]

I was wondering If I could have a Timer running on a new Thread to ease on resources?

Timers are not resource-intensive - not anymore (you can fire up a hundred of
them in a given Process - and the Process will still remain at 0% CPU-usage).

Perhaps you mean the "routines you plan to call within a Timer-Event"?

Those might cause a higher CPU-load (when regularly triggered within
a shorter interval) - but shifting those routines into another thread would
not "lessen" the CPU-usage (would not be "easier on the resources", when
called-upon with the same frequency as before in the Main-Thread).

The thing you might be after is, to "not block" the Main-Thread (with longer
actions) to keep it responsive (GUI-wise) - and for that, threading would
make sense.
