On SEs and Mac IIs, equipped with ADB interfaces, the
keyboard and mouse are accessed once every 10 ms, according to
Developer Services.  Events reported by {Get,Wait}NextEvent
also have to flow through the event queue, which can take a
few more milliseconds, but you can access mouse events more
quickly with Button, and you can use GetKeys for the keyboard.

In short, you can do things just a little faster than the 17
ms accorded with TickCount().
