I was mucking around and came across the following.  Given the
following function:
void CTimerDlg::OnStart()
{
    time_t  start, end;
    start = time(NULL);
    do {
        end = time(NULL);
    } while (difftime(end, start) < 60.0);
    AfxMessageBox("Time's up");
}
This function would work as expected (that is, the message box would
pop-up 60 seconds after the "start" was pushed) when compiled as a
32-bit app. in MSVC 5.0.  However, when compiled as a 16-bit app. in
MSVC 1.5, this loop would time out in 30 - 40 seconds.  The tests were
run on a 90 mHz Pentium.  Does anybody have an idea?
