I don't really see how writing code inside an xtra would
work anybetter
then writing lingo.
To me it's a bit unclear what the original poster is after.
You can set
the framerate to 999, or 200 orso, and draw as little
as possible onscreen. Your code will be able to run a lot of
times per
second that way. The milliseconds has a pretty good
precision for me, it's just calling a systemlevel call and
passing
trough the result..
There's probably an xtra out there that can give you even
more precise
timing. I think I even wrote one once, in a profiling xtra.
not sure if that is still floating around somewhere..
basically on a
x86 cpu you can get a very high resolution timing.
