The CNT90 does zero dead time. It is just not as quick as the 5372A, but it does several 100k samples/sek if I recall things correctly and it does it for much longer sequences. Run it with the time-view software. The CNT90 is alot of bang for the buck. The advertised resolution is 100 ps, but the hardware is actually better, but it is a bit noisy below that level. You can download the timeview software demo from Pendelums website. You need to get a key for full operation. I've also post-processed the rawdata files myself, which is a bit odd format but once you have sorted that out it becomes trivial to go further. The CNT90 does not fully replace the good old and trusty 5372A, but it is a darn good complement. The pricing is not too bad actually.
