I know about the GetSystemTicks() function, but isn't that System Ticks rather than time? Like CPU time or something like that. I want to know the time from when I start doing something until it's done in absolute time. now() would work if the resolution was better than 1 s. And how can 16 ms be the best precision due to IBM PC hardware design? I can get milliseconds from the operating system, can't I? And games like Torcs seems to use a precision of 1 ms (each 10 ms is viewed within the game but if you look at the xml files, time is represented like ”sssss.sss”, which is a precision of 1 ms (or at least could be). And I don't know anything about MS Windows. I use Ubuntu.
