Hi, I am writing an application to test the performance of some module and I want to time the operation of certain steps in the application. I need the time in microseconds, and I'm not sure how to do this. Any suggestions? Thanks

Sitz's suggestion is the one I was thinking of. I used it before when making an application that depended on small timings like that, but was relatively portable, and didn't need to grab "raw" clock ticks from the CPU.
