Unfortunately the high resolution timer function is not fast enough 
for accurately creating pauses at a rate of 50kHz.

Some more info from the original message:
"I have done some testing and there seems to be a real good reason 
why it was done this way. On a P2 350 MHz QueryPerformanceCounter() 
can be executed about 200,000 times per second, this is not fast 
enough to accurately measure a 50 kHz event. Some more testing 
reveals that the rdtsc instruction can be executed about 10 million 
times per second on the same machine."
