Well, I have jitter (PPS timestamps) within ~2µs and the occasional
"hair" that goes out to about 30µs. The distribution is a little bit
wider on the three systems that are loaded with extra server tasks, but
not much. The thing to note is that you need to boot with "nohz=off",
set a fixed frequency as high as possible and use an interval timer for
controlling the CPU load (I use all four cores as workers and adjust
them at 40Hz).
[I can post plots, but at ~500kiB I think I should rather ask for
permission first.]
Regards,
Achim.
