sleep() returns about 1.95 on windows.. (1000 / 1.95ms = 512fps)
usleep() on *NIX returns closer to 1 depending on the OS.
It's a bug in HAL i believe on windows. If you don't use ACPI, it
doesn't use ACPI as a timer anymore and uses TSC..
Only way to get super high frames is to a.) not use
Windows is -not- an realtime OS... you will never get a deterministic
behavior to the way you want it. ACPI's default time quantum is crap,
TSC is better but it doesn't work for SMP. So you have to decide
which is better, ACPI with SMP and 512fps maximum, or TSC-like with
single processor support
You should use qstat and wrap it with awk.. simple..
