Timer queues: Which one should I use...

I've only just joined this mailing list but I've heard that there has
been some discussion on timer queues. I have been working on a driver
(Iomega parallel port ZIP drive) and found that tq_scheduler stops
polling/processing when the system loads up (gcc -O2 does it quiet
nicely when compiling the gcc source).

I've since switched to using tq_timer with more stable results but
apparently there has been a performance drop. Any suggestions?
