I am working on a emulator and need to have time based events. I've tried
to use the timer control and discovered that it runs waaaaaaay slow. I set
the tick frequency to 1, then in the tick event I update a label on my form,
nothing else. just counting in my head I have determined that it take
roughly 14 seconds to get through 1000 ticks or 1 second of the timer.
This really surprises me. I haven't even done any processing yet and the
thing is already slow. Is this typical of this control?
If I wanted to have a loop with time based execution, what is the
appropriate method? This is a windows form app and the emulator is running
in a dialog.
Thanks for any suggestions,
Steve
