I’m writing a DDE logging applet in visual c++ that logs several hundred events per minute and I need a faster way to keep time than calling GetSystemTime in winapi. Do you have any ideas?
(asking this because in testing under load, all exceptions were caused by a call to getsystemtime)
Possibly crazy thought: do you definately need an accurate timestamp? Suppose you only got the system time say every 10th call – how bad would that be?
