Because I need better precision I can't use scheduled executor any more in the timedbuffer. So *for now* each one has its own thread. So I added a close method to the timedbuffer which gets called from the AsynchronousFuileImpl close() method, so I can stop the thread. But it seems this method is getting called even before the startup is complete. Any ideas what is going on here?
