Hello Dieter !

You guessed right: I am actually using this function...

After making a little search on Google, it seems that this (rare) problem may be
the cause of Pharaon taking too much time (see for exemple :
http://groups-beta.google.com/group/comp.graphics.api.opengl/browse_frm/thread/c111f3b272b86d98/2a86aa3480f985bf?q=QueryPerformanceCounter+problem&_done=%2Fgroups%3Fq%3DQueryPerformanceCounter+problem%26&_doneTitle=Back+to+Search&&d#2a86aa3480f985bf)

I will add an option in the next release of Pharaon (Pharaon v3.2 will be
released in january 2005) to force the use of 'GetTickCount' instead of (the
more accurate) 'QueryPerformanceCounter'.

Best regards+
