Well, you could for instance check the timer after each line of code.
If you want to render in several steps, you could use a Type for all your objects.
In fact, using threads does the same thing. Only then with two applications. Each application gets a certain amount of processor time.
There is a wait built in the "Flip" command. The VWait waits for the ScanLine() to be zero. It avoids nasty flickering of the image.
During this wait, other application can perform their tasks. Same thing goes for Delay().
To get as close to the millisecs() accuracy, you should have:
* a tight loop
* check very often
x# = cos(p) * 10: CheckTimer() y# = sin(p) * 10: CheckTimer() oval x, y, 10, 10: CheckTimer() for i = 0 to 10 oval rand(x), rand(y), 10, 10: CheckTimer() next
