1) I'm aware that timers increase memory usage, but how bad is it?

2) By how much does the memory usage increase for every timer (running simultaneously)?

3) Is there a way to calculate how much memory a timer is taking?

4) Why do timers actually take memory (how does it work)?

Sorry for asking so many questions, I'm just curious.

I don't think this is really the place for it, but if it is I'll post it there ofc.

Well, there's something I am working on which updates some data every so often for each player.
I wasn't sure if it should be done with 1 timer for all players, or 1 timer per player.

I read your thread about timers again (I read it once before) and figured it would probably be best to have 1 timer per player to let the server sync.
But then I thought that it might be bad because it may drastically increase memory usage (worst case 500 timers running at once, actually 800 or 1000).

All of this got me to the thinking again that even if it will take quite a bit of memory, its better than letting the server hang for some time every 1 second.

You are right, I always do that (over-thinking things), even when its about little things.

But regardless to what I'm trying to do, is the memory usage for many timers in general bad?
