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().
