--- Comment #7 from Brad Fitzpatrick bradfitz@golang.org ---
Do you happen to know why QueryPerformanceCounter/QueryPerformanceFrequency/NtQueryPerformanceCounter wasn't used for that?
I'm not a Windows person, but the bug tracker suggests that it was at least partially because it doesn't work on Windows XP, which Go supports.
It might also be due to performance.
I'll point the Go Windows people at this bug where they might correct me.
