[users@httpd] Accuracy of Apache %D on Windows

Hi All,
   
  Has anyone noticed the accuracy of the 10microsecond timer is actually 15milliseconds under windows? Seems to negate the purpose of having a microsecond timer.
   
  Perhaps I am wrong?

Thanks Howard for asking the question.
   
  I forgot to mention I am running under Windows 2000 32-bit. I am using a java version 1.6 that measures down to nanosecond resolution and java had done this since version 1.5.
   
  So not sure why I am getting 15msec resolution when expecting microseconds. Earlier versions of Java (before 1.5.0) had this issue so I am surprised I am seeing this issue with Apache.
   
  Regards,
  -Tony

There is a high quality timer under Win32. As with Linux I think it 
reacts differently depending on the hardware.
