I thought that on win2k tim=getTickCount

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/sysinfo/base/gettickcount.asp

Would be the relevant URL - however my test for this suggests that this is wrong. There are a bunch of other high timers available in windows so I'll see if I can see which it is.
