What Michael also keeps forgetting, is that EpikTimer gives a unified timing interface, which is very handy in cross-platform applications. Yes we could manually use QueryPerformanceCounter under Windows, clock_gettime() under Linux and FreeBSD, and fpgettimeofday() everywhere else.... but EpikTimer gives us a clean API to use, and takes care of the platform differences for us. Makes for much cleaner code in our applications, which I personally think is nice!
