I would have thought that the damping effect of two hands helps some whether
the timer is used and/or a tripod as long as they are steady. Of course the
heavier the tripod the better too.

I don't think the mirror lock up makes any difference in vibration
reduction (and it is something I've tested). The aperture stopdown
mechanism gives the camera a jolt either way. I think the best method is
probably to use the left hand to hold the lens and the right gently to
squeeze the shutter button. The timer unfortunately doesn't stop down the
aperture at the beginning of the timer run, so that the stop down of the
aperture occurs at the same time relative to the shutter firing whether you
use the timer, a cable release, or your finger.

I believe that was the recommended procedure by Olympus even for use on a
tripod.
