I have code to calibrate the overhead fairly accurately, but there is little point in using it since it is most accurate on machines where an estimate of 0 works well. On slow machines, the accuracy of DELAY() has a large variance since it is limited by the resolution of getit() even if the initial delay is calibrated perfectly. Use fixed point and long longs to speed up scaling in DELAY(). The old method slowed down a lot when the frequency became variable. Assume the default frequency for short delays so that the fixed point calculation can be exact. Fast scaling is only important for small delays. Scaling is done after looking at the counter and outside the loop, so it doesn't decrease accuracy or resolution provided it completes before the delay is up. The comment in the code is still confused about this. |
