That's the topic of this thread.

Thanks.

On the GNU/Linux machine I'm writing this message, C-h v shows this:

timer-list is a variable defined in `C source code'.
Its value is shown below.

Documentation:
List of active absolute time timers in order of increasing time.

Value: ([nil 20969 10565 915710 nil password-cache-remove
      ("auth-source-magic (:max 1 :host (\"news.gmane.org\" \"news.gmane.org\") 
:port (\"119\" \"nntp\" \"nntp\" \"563\" \"nntps\" \"snews\"))")
      nil 306000]
 [nil 20969 10565 919267 nil password-cache-remove
      ("auth-source-magic (:port 110 :user <removed> :host <removed> :max 1)")
      nil 623000]
 [nil 20969 10566 330944 nil password-cache-remove
      ("auth-source-magic (:port 110 :user <removed> :host <removed> :max 1)")
      nil 87000]
 [nil 20969 12911 430882 nil password-cache-remove
      ("auth-source-magic (:max 1 :host (\"news.sunsite.dk\" 
\"news.sunsite.dk\") :port (\"119\" \"nntp\" \"nntp\" \"563\" \"nntps\" 
\"snews\"))")
      nil 504000])


(I edited out some personal information.)

Those timers remain after quitting Gnus.

timer-idle-list contains

 ([t 0 0 125000 t show-paren-function nil idle 0]
 [nil 0 0 500000 t jit-lock-context-fontify nil idle 0])


On Windows machine, timer-list is empty (I don't run Gnus there.)
timer-idle-list is the same as in the GNU/Linux machine:

([t 0 0 125000 t show-paren-function nil idle 0]
 [nil 0 0 500000 t jit-lock-context-fontify nil idle 0])

Right now I have no time for running a gdb session for monitoring
run_timers. I'll do if there is interest on seeing the results.

This is some state information taken from M-x report-emacs-bug on the
GNU/Linux machine. As you can see, it is far from being emacs -Q :
