Hi Michael, Under Linux a RTLEventWaitFor(e,1) usually waits at most 1ms. But under Windows it usually waits at least 15ms. It seems to round to nearest 1/64 of a second. Googling this lead me to question the sanity of some bloggers. Has anyone an idea if this is normal on Windows and if there is an alternative?
RTLEventWaitFor uses WaitForSingleObject internally. According to this: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/win32/sync/wait-functions The system clock (and not some high-performance counter) is used to determine resolution of the timeout. You could call timeGetDevCaps to check the resolution.
