Wait Time less than 1 millisecond?

[dunbarx at aol.com]

Hi.


Try waiting 0 (with messages?) Zero is not quite zero.



I have no idea if a small loop, waiting 0 one or more times, might actually give you a fraction of a mS. This would be an interesting experiment.

Hi there,

I’m trying to speed up my application by reducing my wait times.

Unfortunately, the wait command itself says that the minimum
wait time is 1 millisecond.

I want to reduce my wait times to .5 or .25 milliseconds.

I’m thinking perhaps a loop to wait just a few cpu cycles.

It would be best if I could start and stop a timer which would
tell me exactly how much time has passed executing my loop.

Ideas?  Suggestions?

Thanks,

Rick
