Does FlipBuffers block?

I can simply use a timer to simulate the draw fps, but the answer to this question could save me 30 seconds worth of effort.

Just found out that it indeed does block. I timed it myself.
Time to remove the FPS counter and add my own timers.
Thanks EllapsedMilliseconds!

FlipBuffers() blocks to wait for a vblank if vsync is enabled. I'm not sure what you're getting at here when it comes to your FPS counter.

I was checking to see how long the event loop is taking. It was 66ms and I wondered why. I set the frame rate to 15fps. I just used the timer to tick off when to render instead of using a frame limiter so my logic can run as fast as possible. Basically rendering should occur every 66ms and not the logic.
