Hi Christoph,

Chris and Justin had given many valuable information about System Timer
class and the Winform Timer class. It's greate.
I happen to know there is an article in MSDN Magazine which also did a
comparsion among the 3 Timer classes in .NET Framework. You may read the
article to see if it give you some ideas on this topic.
