I had a similar idea but I'm still trying to get a better understanding of how
the wine server works. For now I'd just want to share the results of my
research.

So just to state the obvious before Alexandre hits me with a haversack :) the
patch cannot be merged like that, using EnterCriticalSection this way is
completely wrong.

Further notes: Windows of course does not update the times at 10 MHz
granularity.

I wrote a little test application that confirms (on Vista) what
http://www.dcl.hpi.uni-potsdam.de/research/WRK/2007/08/getting-os-information-the-kuser_shared_data-structure/
says: the values are updated at a 15.625ms interval which is 64 Hz.
