GetTickCount is just a number.  It's fairly meaningless on its own. 
I think it's the number of milliseconds since the server was started
or something...

It becomes useful when you have two calls to it:

<cfset StartTime = GetTickCount()>
        <!--- Do something long and arduous here... --->
<cfset EndTime = GetTickCount()>
<cfset TotalTime = EndTime - StartTime>
<cfoutput>That took #TotalTime#ms.</cfoutput>

Is it not nifty?

Best regards,
