    Question Super Precision Timer

    I've got a class setup with QueryPerformanceCounter + QueryPerformanceFrequency and it gives me a very precise timer. Everything is quite nice and fine, however, only issues is, if i do a Right Click or a Drag of a window it seems to be pausing the timer!

    I've taken a look at the SelfTimer classes from Merri and The Trick's Timer which are both similar. They both run very smooth without any bottlenecks on drag or right lick menus etc.... and both use SetTimer/KillTimer APIs, but those are not as accurate / fast as QueryPerformanceFrequency.

    So the question is, how can i get the accuracy of QueryPerformanceFrequency and the smoothness of the SetTimer approach?

    Any Ideas?

    Maybe run the class on a separate thread?
