gettickcount vs. sleep. which one is better?

my program takes a screenshot every 3 seconds and analyzes it. im currently using the Sleep api to do this.. but im wondering if gettickcount is more efficient. What are the advantages/disadvantages of each one? Which one is easier on the CPU/memory?

I would say the Sleep API call as it does actually stop everything for the set ammount of time.

Cheers,
