FYI, this person seems to have made a career ;-) of making sense of the Windows time functions:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7685762/windows-7-timing-functions-how-to-use-getsystemtimeadjustment-correctly
and their site:
http://www.windowstimestamp.com/description
Bottom line is that it's messy as everything else on Windows :-( They claim, among other things:
- "GetSystemTimeAdjustment is not the function to look at."
- The undocumented NtQueryTimerResolution() is the function to look at.
- "Time Adjustment: 0.0156001 clearly identifies windows VISTA or higher with HPET and/or constant/invariant TSC on your system."
Screw it - I'm gonna go shovel more snow ;-)
