No. of outstanding timers

NTDEV

How many outstanding NDIS timers can Win2k support. How much is the
scalability of timers affected by what I do in the callback function… As in
if I grab a couple of locks do something quickly and release them… should
it be ok, or does it in any way delay the executing of other pending timers.
Please answer these as they are important to the scalability of my driver!

Thanks

generally timer routines are implemented as DPCs queued to a processor.
If your timer callback is taking a long time it will impact the ability
of other timer routines queued to your processor to run.
