Perceivable time differences [was Re: PSA: Clock drift and pkgin]

and 44 long). So I think it's fair to say that, in the right context (an important caveat!), a time difference as short as (1602-802)/44.1=18.14+ milliseconds is clearly discernible to me. This is, of course, a situation designed to perceive a very small difference. I'm sure there
