>>Can you determine how much time does it takes to the timer event to be executed?

>>If you click on the combobox and wait more than 1 second, does the combobox respond or not? The same thing for a longer time: 10 seconds. Theoretically, the combo should respond after the timer event is done. Since the timer event has low priority in Windows, the click event should be executed before the next timer event even if the timer event is longer than 1 second.

You must always think that all (on one computer) timer events procedures cannot use more than 100% CPU time. And Windows must also run the mechanism for more timers (on only "hard" one) on the same CPU.
This is way timers are not recomended. Also, it's good to know the timer events have the lowest priority (as far as I remember). That means you can't build a reliable process on timers.
