Not that it is true, but why would that be bad? By default (most) multi core/cpu Windows systems run at a 15 ms timer interrupt interval (10 ms for single cpu/core systems), but programs can request a smaller interval (down to 1 ms). Running the timer interrupt at a lower frequency helps if you care about throughput and/or battery life. Regards, Jeroen
