No...you should count on SysTicksPerSecond() number of ticks per second.

Yeah, calculating time under the Emulator is tricky. See the forum archives for
previous discussions on this.

Subject: SysTicksPerSecond()
Hi all-
I notice on my Palm III, Palm IIIc and Palm VIIx, they all register 100
ticks per second. I would have expected different values since they
all
have different processors. Should I anticipate that the current batch
of palms (all of the III, V, and VII series with OS 3.0 to 3.5) are
100 ticks per second? Can I count on 100 ticks being exactly 1 second?
for timing animations?
I notice that ticks per second on the emulator is useless. my 500mhz
WinDoze box runs about 5 times as fast as my IIIc.
Thanks for the help.
Cheers, Ted
