Hi,

But then again, if I remember correcly, GetTickCount goes in steps of =
32ms.
If you need more accuracy, you are out of the game here.

And if you are just profiling on your development machine or at machine =
you
can reach or otherwise know some details about it. You can quite easily =
use
other measurement methods also.

In some cases how fast to get time is not the issue, but accuracy of =
delta
time is.

Thanks,
