I'd love to try, but I don't have VC++ to build Python, I use GCC on
Windows.
Anyway, the first thing to try then is to call
timeBeginPeriod(1);
once on startup, and leave the rest of the code as it is. If 2-4 ms is
sufficient we can use timeBeginPeriod(2), etc. Microsoft is claiming
Windows performs better with high granularity, which is why it is 10 ms
by default.
