(Java) Timer objects 'running slow'

Hi. I have a java game I made in a course at Uni. It has three Timer objects.
When I run the game from Notepad++ it runs perfectly (sweet-as game if I may say so myself).
I have made executable .jar files so that I can share it with friends. Unfortunately sometimes the game runs 'slow' when run from the .jar.

I have the feeling this has nothing to do with errors in code (due to the randomness of the error's occurence) but rather a runtime problem (if that's the right word..).

Anyone know what the problem might be?
Also plz keep elitism to a minimum

You build Rube Goldberg machines instead of opening the door like a normal person, don't you?

More likely he rams his head into it until the hinges wear out.
