> For me it was difficult to understand the division among threads.

There are no threads involved here, as both the C code which runs the
timers and the Lisp code run in the same single thread.

On top of that, Michael is working on GNU/Linux, so any w32 threads
aren't relevant.

There are no system calls involved in the code in question.
