Hi,

Boost.Timer is based on the C function clock(). On windows, this function gives
a precision of 1 millisecond only as CLOCKS_PER_SEC is equal to 1000.

Why Boost.Timer doesn't use for windows QueryPerformanceCounter() and
QueryPerformanceFrequency()? These functions give a precision around 2
microseconds.

Daniel.
