Wow.   350 nS.  I had not been following this for the last few years.   It
seems the ARM is a simply CPU with much more predictable interrupts timing.


One might ask way you'd need such good internal timing.   What got me into
this years ago was scientific data acquisition.  I wanted to time stamp the
data.   So I had a Linux based PC connect periodically to the Internet
using a dial-up phone modem and run NTP.   It worked well enough.    A GPS
receiver at $10,000 each was out of the question.
