In NT4 there was a multi-media (???) method of doing this, although overall
it was rated as iffy at best and unreliable. Whether that still exists for
2000 and XP I am not sure.

Hi,
Windows will not use time slice 10ms. more then that.
If u change to 1 ms it will screw everything, OS will waste all the time
only for swapping contexts.

If u change to 1 ms it will screw everything, OS will waste all the time
only for swapping contexts.
Context swap frequency (aka quantum length) is IIRC the absolute number not influenced by timer resolution.
Anyway quantum ends are rare, they require 100% CPU load to occur.
Max
Well, it was 10ms on my 75MHz Pentium, and I suspect also on 20Mhz 386s.
I suspect that my 1.9 GHz P4 can handle a rate 10 times that.
If you make the very rough assumption that MIPS rate == clock rate,
even if you time sliced every 1ms, you still get 2 million instructions.
I do remember a 1ms clock interrupt being too long on a 0.5 MIPS 68000…
