Three suggestions:
1) Get rid of Windows and use a real-time OS.
2) Up your priority and only Sleep(5). You'll come back sometime after
the 5, and with a high enough priority, you stand a chance of comming
back within 10 (I'd guess).
3) Aren't there some high precision timers that would trigger you when
they go off?
