In general; You're asking for RTOS granularity from a desktop OS. Desktop OS'es in general allows that accuracy only in theoretical terms. This might very well be the sole reason. Expect even less accuracy from Cygwin; because it is a partly emulated environment. NOTE: not saying to which degree here... I simply do not know. /Hannu E K Nevalainen, B.Sc.
