Have you actually tried this and measured? 2:1 is very optimistic. Typically it is 1000:1 or worse But you are right that it may not matter. For most uses if the computer's clock is correct at the 0.1 second level they are happy. but this is a "time nut" mailing list and some of us like to get NTP to run at the uSecond level. Useless as that might be.
