Its because on linux & mac the clock is derived from gettimeofday which is<br>
wall time but on Windows it is derived from timeGetTime which isn't. The problem is the lack of a high-resolution wall time on Windows. GetSystemTimeAsFileTime et al have something like 16 ms resolution whereas timeGetTime has 1ms resolution.<br>

On vista the accuracy of GetLocalTime (which is a "friend" of<br>
GetSystemTimeAsFileTime) seems to be 1ms. </blockquote><div><br></div><div>Good. Time to change. I'll test this on XP soon.</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">
E.g.:<br>
<br>
s := Set new.<br>
[ s size < 10 ] whileTrue: [ s add: Win32SystemTime localDateAndTime ].<br>
s sorted<br>
<br>
Output:<br>
