BPM (Beats Per Minute) counter

Someone mentioned that the automatic bpm counters wouldn't be always reliable and that the counting by hand is still the most accurate method. Now, before my preconception became possibly reverted, I used the occasion to finally program something usefull: A fault-tolerant counter by way of keystrokes with precision estimations. You'll find it at Google Code, have a look below.

Depending on the piece of music - it's speed and accentuation - I already must conentrate to be able to measure with relative deviations below 4 %. If these deviations are "normally" distributed this mean that I'm for the majority (84 %) of all keystrokes at most 4 % too fast or too slow of the basic pulse. I. e. for a tune with 60 bpm the deviations from the ground beat are below 40 msec (40 milli seconds). Maybe not so bad, ... I'm wondering how a drummer would hold his own, one could establish even some sort of competion from it ;-).
