// The default windows timer, GetSystemTimePreciseAsFileTime is quite precise.
// However it is not always fast on some hardware and is slower than the
// performance counters.
//
// QueryPerformanceCounter is the logical choice for a high-precision timer.
// However, it is known to be buggy on some hardware.  Specifically, it can
// sometimes "jump".  On laptops, QPC can also be very expensive to call.
// It's 3-4x slower than timeGetTime() on desktops, but can be 10x slower
// on laptops.  A unittest exists which will show the relative cost of various
// timers on any system.
//
// The next logical choice is timeGetTime().  timeGetTime has a precision of
// 1ms, but only if you call APIs (timeBeginPeriod()) which affect all other
// applications on the system.  By default, precision is only 15.5ms.
// Unfortunately, we don't want to call timeBeginPeriod because we don't
// want to affect other applications.  Further, on mobile platforms, use of
// faster multimedia timers can hurt battery life.  See the intel
// article about this here:
// http://softwarecommunity.intel.com/articles/eng/1086.htm
//
// To work around all this, we're going to generally use timeGetTime().  We
// will only increase the system-wide timer if we're not running on battery
// power.

// Discussion of tick counter options on Windows:
//
// (1) CPU cycle counter. (Retrieved via RDTSC)
// The CPU counter provides the highest resolution time stamp and is the least
// expensive to retrieve. However, on older CPUs, two issues can affect its
// reliability: First it is maintained per processor and not synchronized
// between processors. Also, the counters will change frequency due to thermal
// and power changes, and stop in some states.
//
// (2) QueryPerformanceCounter (QPC). The QPC counter provides a high-
// resolution (<1 microsecond) time stamp. On most hardware running today, it
// auto-detects and uses the constant-rate RDTSC counter to provide extremely
// efficient and reliable time stamps.
//
// On older CPUs where RDTSC is unreliable, it falls back to using more
// expensive (20X to 40X more costly) alternate clocks, such as HPET or the ACPI
// PM timer, and can involve system calls; and all this is up to the HAL (with
// some help from ACPI). According to
// http://blogs.msdn.com/oldnewthing/archive/2005/09/02/459952.aspx, in the
// worst case, it gets the counter from the rollover interrupt on the
// programmable interrupt timer. In best cases, the HAL may conclude that the
// RDTSC counter runs at a constant frequency, then it uses that instead. On
// multiprocessor machines, it will try to verify the values returned from
// RDTSC on each processor are consistent with each other, and apply a handful
// of workarounds for known buggy hardware. In other words, QPC is supposed to
// give consistent results on a multiprocessor computer, but for older CPUs it
// can be unreliable due bugs in BIOS or HAL.
//
// (3) System time. The system time provides a low-resolution (from ~1 to ~15.6
// milliseconds) time stamp but is comparatively less expensive to retrieve and
// more reliable. Time::EnableHighResolutionTimer() and
// Time::ActivateHighResolutionTimer() can be called to alter the resolution of
// this timer; and also other Windows applications can alter it, affecting this
// one.
