Comment (by dmitry@…):

 Andreas, actually using GetSystemTimeAsFileTime in MSVC STL is a bug. See
 bug with ID 719443 on Microsoft Connect website (I can't post link here).

 Maybe it makes sense to wait until it's implemented and tested by
 Microsoft, then it can be "backported" to boost::chrono.

 Regarding timers on Windows, this article claims that we can't rely on
 QueryPerformanceCounter API and should fall back to something different on
 some motherboard models and versions of Windows
