title: Overhead of timer in application C#
body: <p>How much overhead do timers cause in an application if they are running in the background continuously (regardless of the interval)?</p>
  
  <p>I'm not worried about the calls that the timer will make when it ticks, but rather about the performance effects of using timers in applications where performance is of the utmost importance and am interested to hear what views there are on this.</p>
