Good Day,
I am using a custom software that logs all activity and issues a time stamp
to each entry. To gauge performance, we need these time stamps to be as
accurate as possible.
The problem with this is that we cannot get time stamps accurate to the
millisecond. For some reason, the time stamps don't have a 1 millisecond
increment; there is actually a 15-16ms increment. What this means is that if
we have multiple actions performed within the same 15ms block, we will have
no way of differentiating them.
We were told by the software providers that this time is as accurate as
windows can provide and is not a limitation of the software.
My questions are:
1. Is this true? Does windows really calculate time in increments of 15/16ms?
2. Does windows (xp, 2003) have a registry setting to set this incremental
value to 1ms rather than 15-16?
Thanks
