4.4.4.2. Timer Advantages
Unlike the performance counter, which can track only seven sections of code simultaneously, the timer has no such limit. You can read the timer 1,000 times and store the timer in 1,000 different variables as a start time for a section. Then, you can compare the timer to 1,000 end timer readings. The only practical limiting factors are memory consumption, processor overhead, and complexity.
