Every Timer object you create in your code (implicitly) creates a 
thread.  I don't think these threads go away till the timer objects get 
garbage collected.  It's much better to have a single timer object with 
multiple enqueued TimerTasks than a huge number of Timer objects....

Directly related to the memory overhead (huge number of threads) there 
is a significant performance overhead of huge numbers of Timer objects 
as thread creation can be (comparatively) slow compared to most object 
creation...
