Hello, I'm using the following code to trace the time different sections of code take to execute (where btime = boost::posix_time): btime::to_iso_extended_string( btime::microsec_clock::universal_time() ) I am finding that a lot of things are happening simultaneously (or rather in the same micro second) and then some random operation (perhaps the declaration of a variable, perhaps a DB query) will take 0.015 (ish) seconds. The software is running on windows XP service pack 2. Is there a known resolution issue using the microsec_clock on windows xp? Will using a boost time period have the same issue? Thanks in advance, Patrick ****************************************************************************** "This message and any attachments are solely for the intended recipient and may contain confidential and privileged information.
