Q. About The system timer
MSDN and some experts says about System Timer Resolution:
"Windows 95 and later: The system timer runs at approximately 55ms."
Howewer when you run next code under Win98 you get another result:
int Cnt [100],
Cnt0 = GetTickCount();
for (int i=0; i<100; i++)
{
Sleep(10);
Cnt[i] = GetTickCount()-Cnt0;
}
Here is a typical Cnt[] content:
15, 30 , 40, 51, 65, 81, 96, 106, 120, 130, 140, 151, 165, 180, 190, 205
......
1105,1120,1135,1145,1155,1165,1180,1190,1200,1210,1221,1235
It seems like system timer resolution of Windows 98 is about 5-10 msec.
Where can I read about real Windows 95/98 system timer interval (not about
RTOS in common, Ventur Com RTX,etc :).
