The main difference is that the Idle timer resets when something is pulled. For example:

Scenario - You need to pull 2 items. Items are pushed on the list at time 8 and 12. You also set one of the timers to 10.

Wait Timer - The first item is pulled and then the timer fires 2 seconds later at time 10.

Idle Timer - The first item is pulled at time 8 and then the timer resets. At time 12 the second item is pulled, four seconds into the new timer.
