the first one i have already listed as a negative thing for timers.
the second i have not listed since i thought that it would be the same 
kind of variation as when we run tests as are currently done in the 
shootout.

i could be wrong here. could you explain how an ''internal timer'' based 
approach would be more easily disturbed by gc, compared to the current 
shootout way of doing things?
