Forums Scripts & Popups Starting many timers hangs mIRC

My take on this is that the OP's approach is completely wrong, though much of the advice already given is correct.

1. You should use a single timer - and the alias you call should then issue the next timer.

2. If you need to refer to a list, you should store it in a hash table - use SLOTS = 1 if you need to preserve the sequence or SLOTS = Min(number of items,10000) if not. If you use SLOTS = 1 then you need to consider the performance of finding the n'th item (which will increase as n increases because it has to work its way down the linked list) and instead delete the first item in each iteration so that you are always referencing the first item.
