There is actually one other PalmOS "timer" that has a public API which
might give one a resolution time higher than TimGetTicks().  Open a serial
port at the highest allowed baud rate with no handshaking, and then keep
the transmit buffer completely full.  The amount of characters sent may
give you a higher time resolution than 1/100th of a second, depending on
the baud rate, the number of stop/start/data bits, and the transmit buffer
size.

But given that the display is updated and the buttons might be read less
often than every 1/100the of a second, why would one need this time
resolution?


IMHO.  YMMV.
