I had some weird deal where I had 2 timers calling the same
EventHandler (copy and paste mistake) and even though i stopped both
Timers one kept going
Not that this is optimal but I would try offsetting your Timers 100,
101, 102, etc and see if that works or running one function and using
removeEventListener (although that may throw an exception?).
