RE: what exactly 'tim' means in a 10046 TRACE file ?

Let me know. On Windows, I haven't looked too hard, mostly because our
Profiler code does the simultaneous clock-walk thing, which does
everything we want, without having to worry about platform dependencies.

I thought that on win2k tim=getTickCount 

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/sysinfo
/base/gettickcount.asp

Would be the relevant URL - however my test for this suggests that this
is wrong. There are a bunch of other high timers available in windows so
I'll see if I can see which it is.
