The times that GetTickCount is returning is in the range 1-5ms.
Averaging such small ammounts isn't accurate enough.
As a side note, this is for an MD5Sum method that has a variable buffer size
(useful when faced with the differing access times of CDRom vs HDD)
If anyone wants it (free, with source) fell free to email me.
