Yes, I think you are right.
I also found years ago that there was a lot of these timers. And that was
the reason for blinking "faster".
I had a thought that this might be related to w32. I saw several other bugs
that also depended on how fast you did things. Some related to menus. Some
related to frames.
On w32 you do not control the state of the system calls. I tried to make
people add check of return values etc but I was not even able to get the
checks I added into core Emacs. (I then decided it was a waste of time for
me.)
