  -NOTE: When doing latency tests you should be aware of the Windows system timer. It has variable timer intervals that range from 0.5ms to 15.6ms. By calling _timeBeginPeriod_ and _endTimePeriod_ applications can notify the OS whenever they need a higher resolution. The timer interrupt is a global resource that gets set to the lowest interrupt interval requested by any application. For example, watching a video in Chrome requests a timer interrupt interval of 0.5ms. A lower period results in a more responsive system at the cost of overall throughput and battery life. link:https://vvvv.org/contribution/windows-system-timer-tool[System Timer Tool] is a little utility that let's you view the current state. Calling Java's _Thread.sleep()_ with a value of below 10ms automatically requests a 1ms timer interval.

  -NOTE: TODO: Confirm that system timer was set to 1ms for test.

   Each image below contains two charts. The top section shows the worst hiccup that occured within a given interval window, e.g., data point 1 shows the worst hiccup within the first 3 minutes, data point 2 shows the worst hiccup within the next 3 minutes. The bottom chart shows the percentiles of all measurements across the entire duration. Each 24 hour data set contains roughly 70-80 million actual measurements.

  The process priority was set to 98, which is the highest priority available for real-time threads. I'd advise consulting
