David, Thanks for that, but I was hoping for a reference outside here. Just because Linux behaves one way doesn't mean that Windows will. I ask because for the last several years I have been running my Windows system with 1KHz timers (.e. with the MM timers enabled) and I haven't been aware of any particular problems. Indeed, the timekeeping with NTP in a "client-only" configuration has been substantially improved by running with the MM timers enabled, albeit because the enabled/disabled switch introduced a glitch.
