That is the key part, using TFPTimer is thread based, so calling
CheckSynchronized() would be the solution to keep things ticking
over.

Michael made a good suggestion, by wrapping that code into a method,
so it is easier to maintain, and that wrapper method is more
descriptive (ie: self documenting your code).


In the long term I would highly suggest converting that code / tasks
to multiple theads. From what you described, they sound like good
candidates for a thread based system.
