Note that the accuracy of GetSystemTime at a resolution of tens of
milliseconds or less is questionable. If you want more accurate timing than
this investigate using Windows Multimedia Timer facilities. For an example
of its use in Component Pascal look at the source code for the Blackbox Dev
> Profiler tool.
