Hello!
I made the clock by using non-blocking algorhythm (send the specific message to object and it execute specific handle after specific delay = 1 sec).
Clock is working, but during one minute apears a delay about 0.5 sec. And it's increasing! Why is it so?

Timers generally fire on first available idle after expiration. What is the rest of your app doing during the timer interval?

Hi.

I have not seen your code, but perhaps search for "Accurate timer" in these forums. This suggests reading one or more of the system times, instead of starting and maintaining a counter. Maybe something like that is tying up your app.

FourthWorld, my app is doing nothing yet (and delay is already apears). But what will be if i add some program code to operate some objects? My clock will "swim" and delay becomes biger?
