Hello and thanks for your reply,
the only filter i'm using has the simple rule to visualize only UDP traffic,and i have already added the Delta Time column.I attach the debug output
and the screenshots of the two sniffer programs i have used.
In the test,i have set the timer interval to 10 milliseconds,being aware that the minimum timer resolution of windows XP is about 16 miliseconds.
PacketMon and the Debug output show similar results (packets sent every 16 milliseconds);wireshark shows a time difference approximately equal to 6.6 milliseconds.
Probably i am making some silly mistake,or misunderstanding what i see...

Were you using a display filter to display only the packets that were
generated by your program? In that case, you might have chosen the
"Delta Time" option for your column. This is the time between the
packet
and the packet before this packet in the capture file. If you want to
see the delta time between displayed packets, you need to use "Delta
Time Displayed" instead.
If this is not the case, could you attach a small capture file to your
reply in which this problem is visible? Preferably accompanied by the
timestamps from your debug window.
Cheers,
Sake
