Problem with loop delay

[BeZ]

Here is a part of a script I made:

While 1
    
$Rapide = $Rapide + 1
Sleep (50)
$msg = GUIGetMsg()

Select
Case $Rapide = 18000
ExitLoop

Case $msg = $button_stop
GUIDelete ("compteur")
_FileWriteLog(@ScriptDir & "\Internet.log", "-=| Prix : " & Round($cout, 2) & "$ |=-")
prix ()
EndSelect

WEnd

Do

$cout = $cout + 0.001
$msg = GUIGetMsg()
GUICtrlSetData ($coutpresent, Round($cout, 2) & " $ + taxes")

Sleep (900)

Until $msg = $button_stop

Every hour, $cout should raise of 4.00 but it doesn't. Is this because of the time it takes to do the loop ?

Well, have you tried lowering the sleep? What is the actual output if it isn't 4.00.

It is lower than 4.00 I don't know what number exactly. Is there a way to know how long my loop take in milisecond to execute?

TimerInt/Diff?

Now that depends on what you have going on in that loop, every line of something to do is going to slow it down... here's an example, they both look the same, but 1 is slower than the other:

Local $nCount = 1, $Time = TimerInit()
Do
Until $nCount = 1
MsgBox(64, 'Info:', Round(TimerDiff($Time), 4) & ' milliseconds')
Local $iCount, $iTime = TimerInit()
Do
    $iCount += 1
Until $iCount = 1
MsgBox(64, 'Info:', Round(TimerDiff($iTime), 4) & ' milliseconds')

Thanks Smoke N this is what I was looking for.
