Use NTP and you do not have to worry about the drift. The clock will be
adjust to account for it.

Subject: [rtl] clock drifts
I need to measure an interval betwen two instants given by the local
clock which is implemented using the Pentium timestamp counter. I want
to know how much the clock may drift in the intervall, or better the
drift depends on what and how can i get such value, to account the drift
on the measure. Are CPU cycles strictly periodic ?
Thanks in advance and sorry my bad english
