Hi, I was wondering how Windows handles high res timers, if at all. The reason I ask is because I have been reverse engineering a Windows ASIO driver, and I find that if the latency is set below about 5ms, by examining the kernel timer queue with SoftICE I can see that several kernel timers with 1ms period are created. (Presumably the sound card's interval timer is used for longer periods). But, I have seen people mention in the "singing capacitor" threads on this list that Windows uses 100 for HZ. So, how do they implement 1ms timers with a 10ms tick rate? Does Windows dynamically reprogram the PIT as well?
