Well, it may help the person who needs to run simulation software which is Windows-based, in that if timekeeping is very important to them, it suggests running Windows on a virtual machine running under an accurate FreeBSD host. I wonder whether that would provide any greater accuracy
Windows basically is not designed for precision timing. A VM will almost certainly make things worse. If you want to run a Windows application on a platform with good timing, you probably need run something line Wine, if that is still being maintained.
Generally, though, if you are doing precision timing, you need to have a good understanding of the OS and hardware internals.
