Which timer to use ?

Question

I like to do something every 100 ms.
The timer seems to work fine until you count the times it fires.
450 instead of the expected 600.

I did expect some inaccuracy but this is a lot.

I am using a dispatcher timer because there is some UI work in there too,
I can separated that from the things that I really wanted to do, but I want to know.

Is there a timer that is better than the dispatcher-timer ?

What timer would you use ?

Answer 1

Maybe something make the dispatcher thread busy sometimes and i think that some optimizations must be made .. Anyway try also to set the timer as Send priority
