Yeah, gettickcount() is in no way bound to real time. the 'tick' is proably,
what, a single clock cycle? And we all know how accurate clocking is on a
PC, which is pretty amazing... How is it that this thing can tear through a
million calculations in a fraction of a second, but my cheapie $13 clock
keeps better time?
