Windows ticks at a variable rate, down to 500 microseconds, on recent systems, when they have multimedia timers enabled. ntpd interpolates using the TSC counter, however this interpolation is vulnerable to scheduling delays. I don't know how well current versions behave, but earlier versions performed poorly when the system was 100% CPU, due to s...@home, but quite good when the load was lower. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
