[ntp:questions] Windows-8 improved timekeeping

2012-12-28 Thread David Taylor
Just for interest, I've provided a performance snapshot of a recent NTP running on Windows-8, with both Internet-only and LAN-based servers. When running off just Internet (WAN) servers, Windows-8 shows an averaged jitter of less than a millisecond, perhaps 0.4 - 0.6 millisecond after the

Hi, I've just sorted this out. Although I followed the guide I linked mostly, I did read this page regarding known issues and used the configure flags recommended there: http://ml.linuxpps.org/wiki/index.php/LinuxPPS_NTPD_support That page has bad advice it appears. After recompiling with the

Win 8 is also better at switching tasks according to priority. My Win 8 machine runs 8 Seti@Home (CPU intensive) CPU tasks at the lowest priority (low) and 2 GPU tasks at the second lowest priority (below normal). There is no interference with other tasks or with the screen. On versions before
