[issue995907] memory leak with threads and enhancement of the timer class

[Yael]

Yael added the comment:

I am working on a patch for a new class that uses a single background thread, it should be ready soon. One unintended consequence of this change is that with one thread, multiple timers that have the same timeout will no longer run in parallel, but one after the other.
