    Thanks.

    Any advice regarding this problem?

    As it looks like the timeout causes the system to have a huge CPU load.

    This is the proper use.

    Suppose you want to switch something on after 1 second and switch it of after 5 seconds (since start of script):

    However I'm not sure if I want to go through that amount of work to get 0.1% less CPU.

    Yeah I used it the wrong way, because I didn't get the right instructions, or any for that matter.

    I'll do some testing next week when I'm off of work.

    I think it looks to be more work than it is.

    I'll see.
