Subject: What timer should I use
Date: Thu, 08 Nov 2007 15:23:45 -0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <47334621.5010002@pobox.com> (raw)

Hi,

What should be the best policy to real time in units of 1ms under dosemu?

1) use of the HW timer is not good because it needs HW access.

2) using the Pentium RDTSC works, but I read a lot that it can ger 
strange on newer machines

3) is there a way to qwery the Linux timer using gettimeofday() ??

In hope that I get some answers,
thanks,
Alain
