Problem Description:
I wish to have an accurate millisecond timer. Both the GetTickCount() function and timeformat(now(),"L") display essentially the same data but there are jumps in the output, so the system will display the same GetTickCount() for a number of itterations and then it will jump by about 10-30 milliseconds before showing a new value. As a minute changes the date can sometimes show the previous "second" value even though the millisecond counter has moved to the next second.
Steps to Reproduce: Run the following code:
<cfset d=now()>
<cfoutput>
<cfloop condition="#d# EQ #now()#">
#now()# ms=#timeformat(now(),"L")# tick=#GetTickCount()#<br/>
</cfloop>
</cfoutput>
Run this a few times and have a look at the output and you will see that the millisecond output does not progress smoothly as expected but jumps and sometimes the millisecond counters can have changed into the next second but the now() value still shows the previous second.
