$ticks addition; it would be great if we could specify wheter or not we want to use the Performance Counter.

In mIRC code, I saw that if the call to GetTickCount fail, Khaled calls QueryPerformanceCounter. So this would probably be only a matter of seconds to add this feature to mIRC.

Anyway, that would be a really nice feature

Maybe its just me, but i don't get the reason behind this suggestion.

QueryPerformanceCounter is supposedly more accurate.

It is more accurate
