Windows timers are based on the system timer. The system timer runs at a frequency of about 50-60 hz depending on your machine. This presents a problem for applications that require finer granularity. The HighRes timer allows us to get better granularity, but currently it only works on Windows. Thanks to Luc Pattyn for clarifying some of the issues with high resolution timers with the post on CodeProject.
