Harlan,

I don't think so, and there's a way to prove it. The issue is how the adjtime() routine handles clock adjustments. That syscall should amortize the adjustment in microseconds at a 500-PPM rate. I bet it doesn't. And, should the precision time kernel modifications are active, it will go absolutely bonkers unless some parameters are carefully recalculated. There should be enough detail in the code commentary for a kernelmonger to do that.

As all modern machinery I touch here has a processor cycle counter of some form or another, for good timekeeping you don't need to up the Hz. Only if you need better than 10-ms precision in order to produce an external event at a given time.

You are probably losing clock interrupts like crazy at HZ=2000.
