[Mono-dev] high-resolution timer in Mono?

[Jonathan Resnick]

Thanks Alex.  DateTime.Ticks does appear to have much better resolution,
however I'm not sure how accurate it is.  I'm going to use it for now
though, and assume that it is accurate enough for my purposes.  If anyone
can comment on the accuracy of System.DateTime, I would be interested.

-Jonathan

Perhaps this restriction is intentional here because its an integer, looking
at Ticks property for DateTime object -
http://www.go-mono.com/docs/index.aspx?link=P%3aSystem.Environment.TickCount

It appears to have much better resolution, so you should be able to create
DateTime variable with DateTime.Now value and then use difference between
current and originally recorded time - no need to use System.Environment for
this anyway since it would apply to the whole app rather than benchmarked
part of code.
