I've seen it asserted many times on the boards that GetTickCount() is more accurate than Timer(), but frankly I don't see it.

Just now I tossed in a sample check of GetTickCount() into my sorting program (linked in sig) to see how they compare, and set it to benchmark sorting an array with only two (Long) elements using bubblesort.

The results:

Timer: 0.00078 seconds
GetTickCount: 0 milliseconds

Seems to me that Timer() is the clear winner. Am I missing something?
