Why Boost.Timer doesn't use for windows QueryPerformanceCounter() and
QueryPerformanceFrequency()? These functions give a precision around 2 microseconds.
This is an old and never ending recurrent request. The problem is that the implementation of such a timer raises gazillions of concern and eventually leads to the "bikeshed" problem. There's currently boost::chrono ( http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/chrono/libs/chrono/doc/html/index.htm...) that is being developped and you can also find some old attempts at a boost::timers library at http://unitedsoft.ch/boost/ (use at your own risks).
