I guess I really should explain the background.

I'm looking at using this in a raw PC BIOS environment, where the only 
*guaranteed* timer only has a 55 ms granularity.  There are ways to get 
better resolution by going straight to the hardware, but PC hardware 
being what it is (utter crap) that's a risky thing for trying to make 
something that works on all platforms.

Hence the question.

The good news it that CPU is generally plentiful.
