+    Since wxWidgets 2.9.3 this class uses @c QueryPerformanceCounter()
+    function under MSW to measure the elapsed time. It provides higher
+    precision than the usual timer functions but can suffer from bugs in its
+    implementation in some Windows XP versions. If you encounter such problems,
+    installing a Microsoft hot fix from http://support.microsoft.com/?id=896256
