What makes you say it is useless ?   The UpdateTimeout method lets you
alter the timeout value for an existing timer, without having to go
through Remove+Add of it. This might seem like a subtle distinction,
but the difference is that the UpdateTimeout is guaranteed not to
fail, where as Remove+Add may fail.

Daniel
