Sleep() api timing???

Author	Message
Rick Li #1 / 3	Sleep() api timing??? How accurate is the Sleep() api ? Can it be 1 ms accurate, that is can you do a sleep(10) and expect 10ms not 5 or 20ms? The reason I ask is that I seem to remember that the hardware clock is only accurate in 18ms increments, thus you could get 5 - 20ms accuracy for a 10ms sleep statment. Any ideas on this ? -- The wealth of reality, cannot be seen from your locality.
