When searching for a bug i found out that:
//!timer 1 1 echo -agt test
took about 10s to echo, while:
//!timer -m 1 1000 echo -agt test
did have the correct delay of 1s.
Now I know you'll probably not be able to reproduce it, I've never seen it either. What I would like to know is the difference between -m and a normal timer, because there must be some reason for one to work and the other not.
It happens on a pc with window server web, 32bit
