Hello,

I'm trying to set up a timer with the following line:
SetTimer (hwnd, 1, 1000/30, NULL);
(30 interrupts per second) but the interval is nothing like that. For
example, I process 90 interrupts which should take 3 seconds, but it
takes more like 15. I am using a fprintf in my WM_TIMER, but the file
remains open so the buffering should absorb it, there is no other
lengthy code in there. What is the minimum gap between interrupts? Or am
I just being dense? Do I really have to use GetTickCount and compensate
for it myself?
