Java HotSpot Virtual Machine

Hey,

I've been developing a Timing and Synchronisation package, I've just discovered that System.currentTimeMillis() is too inaccurate, so i've implemented something using jni and the windows libraries. On desktop machines it works perfect but on a Dell laptop running xp of mine the results are erratic and hidiously unhelpfully! I know that this is most likely a hardware issue, but i'm under presssure to produce something releasable shortly.

Does anyone have ANY ideas on the issue?

Thanks,
M


ps all machines are using 1.4.2 and it works proberly on desktops running w2k and xp
