Question

How long is a .NET DateTime/TimeSpan tick?

Answer 1

Note that, although the theoretical resolution of DateTime.Now is quite high, the resolution - ie how often it is updated - it quite a bit lower.

Apparently, on modern systems, DateTime.Now has a resolution of 10 milliseconds... See msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.datetime.now.aspx
