I wouldn't call it "corrupted"; it's just not very accurate (given that it
can only register time with a granularity of 0.01 sec). I don't think there
is any other way to find out CPU use, though, as the performance counter
provides wall time and thus isn't very useful to find out how much a thread
is running. (I've tried to figure out how to implement Ada.Execution_Time on
Windows...)
