TIcsThreadTimer is a good choice for 10,000+ of lazy timers,
when accuracy isn't very important.
TIcsTimer is a 'normal' timer that requires a TIcsWndControl instance
to work. There are demos of both in the MiscDemos directory.
What I did was something similar, but not using messages
I actually have instances of TSharedTimer, and I have a manager with a list
of all timers created, this manager has a TTimer with 10ms loop, and it
calls the OnTimer event of the timers when they are ready to be triggered
The limitation is that the OnTimer events of SharedTimer will be called from
within the main thread only.
It is working really good and I can create 10.000+ timers even with high
resolution (not THAT high, but as low as 30ms), without using system
resources as handles, only memory
