Well, with the MM timer permanently running (from 17:00 Wednesday) I can report that things are /much/ better, see: http://www.david-taylor.myby.co.uk/mrtg/odin_ntp.html - the offset first shot up to 120ms, but is now gently decaying towards zero. - the jitter figures seem much better, around 1 (LAN servers) - 2ms (WAN servers). - the drift value has changed from -65 down to -9.3ms. I would certainly like the option, for this system at least, of running with the MM timers permanently in its high resolution mode. I would also be interested in determining which program is switching the MM timer speed, and thereby upsetting the otherwise excellent timekeeping on this system. I wonder if there's a relatively easy way to determine this?
