I'd love to try, but I don't have VC++ to build Python, I use GCC on 
Windows.

Anyway, the first thing to try then is to call
  
   timeBeginPeriod(1);

once on startup, and leave the rest of the code as it is. If 2-4 ms is 
sufficient we can use timeBeginPeriod(2), etc. Microsoft is claiming 
Windows performs better with high granularity, which is why it is 10 ms 
by default.
