The problem with QueryPerformanceCounter is that some folks raised concern on the stability of the measurements when comparing two distant points in time, although I haven't tested validated that concern yet.

In `src/testing
/testing_windows.go` you have an example of how to use it.

amd64 and arm64 should have similar timer/timestamps resolutions. Go timers already use high resolution timers on both platforms, and you can get a high resolution timestamp (<1us) by calling QueryPerformanceCounter. This last one is still not used by time.Since, but it is used in test benchmarks.

Never heard of this. Will give it a look.

JEP 449 says this:
> Windows 10, the last Windows operating system to support 32-bit operation, will reach End of Life in October 2025.

Is there an official statement from Microsoft saying that Windows 11 won't support 32-bit?

Wonder if Go should follow suite. If I recall correctly .NET also dropped 32-bit support for Windows.

Yep. The Go survey 2024 says that 23% of Go devs develop on Windows, and 16% deploy to Windows.
