Don't be sure in this regard. If the (gtk) timer is implemented with
alarm(2) or similar and not select(2) it isn't single-threaded. Also
the SDL client uses multiple threads. However I'm not sure here about
the impact.

I prefer the second form with a temp variable but because it reduces
the amount of source code.
