I tried this and got pretty constant results except for maybe the first ten
iterations. I figured if you just jump in with the milliseconds you would not
be at the "beginning" of the milliseconds and added a repeat loop to mitigate
that effect. Furthermore I appended the result to a variable.
-------------------------------------------
local last_known_millisecond
local queries = 0
local report
local longSecs, tMs
on mouseUp
lock screen
put empty into report
--let it start at a flip of the ms
repeat
put the milliseconds into tMs
if char -1 of tMs is 0 then
exit repeat
end if
end repeat
repeat 1000 times
put 0 into queries
put the long seconds into longSecs
put the milliseconds into last_known_millisecond
repeat forever
add 1 to queries
if the milliseconds = last_known_millisecond then
next repeat
else
exit repeat
end if
end repeat
put queries && (the long seconds - longSecs) * 1000 & cr after report
end repeat
unlock screen
put report
end mouseUp
