Timer is the only simple way to do it... unfortunately, tabwrite~ starts and stops on DSP boundaries which don't correspond directly to timer~ output. You can sync the starting and stopping to the DSP cycle using bang~, but that will generate a message every DSP tick.

want to add an object to find out when the most recent DSP tick was

I was trying to achieve this with a phasor~. Frequency and amplification correspond to the array's size. The phase is set to 0 at the start of the writing and a snapshot~ is triggered at the end.

But according to Miller's response this won't be exact either...
