-# Overview
-
-Adds support for the `timers` module to browserify.
-
-## Wait, isn't it already supported in the browser?
-
-The public methods of the `timers` module are:
-
-* `setTimeout(callback, delay, [arg], [...])`
-* `clearTimeout(timeoutId)`
-* `setInterval(callback, delay, [arg], [...])`
-* `clearInterval(intervalId)`
-
-and indeed, browsers support these already.
-
-## So, why does this exist?
-
-The `timers` module also includes some private methods used in other built-in
-Node.js modules:
-
-* `enroll(item, delay)`
-* `unenroll(item)`
-* `active(item)`
-
-These are used to efficiently support a large quantity of timers with the same
-timeouts by creating only a few timers under the covers.
-
-Node.js also offers the `immediate` APIs, which aren't yet available cross-browser, so we polyfill those:
-
-* `setImmediate(callback, [arg], [...])`
-* `clearImmediate(immediateId)`
-
-## I need lots of timers and want to use linked list timers as Node.js does.
-
-Linked lists are efficient when you have thousands (millions?) of timers with the same delay.
-Take a look at [timers-browserify-full](https://www.npmjs.com/package/timers-browserify-full) in this case.
