Environment.TickCount slower on Linux than Windows Core #4755
Description
Environment.TickCount is significantly slower for me on Linux than on Windows running on Core. The following console app:
class Program
{
static void Main()
{
while (true)
{
Stopwatch timer = new Stopwatch();
GC.Collect();
GC.WaitForPendingFinalizers();
GC.Collect();
int tar;
timer.Start();
for (int i = 0; i < 40000; i++)
{
tar = Environment.TickCount; tar = Environment.TickCount; tar = Environment.TickCount;
tar = Environment.TickCount; tar = Environment.TickCount; tar = Environment.TickCount;
tar = Environment.TickCount; tar = Environment.TickCount; tar = Environment.TickCount;
}
timer.Stop();
Console.WriteLine(timer.Elapsed);
}
}
}
runs very fast on Windows 10 Core:
