I wrote a packet traffic/protocol simulator where a 250Hz clock (seemed to be the default on Linux) was not fast enough. On FreeBSD I could just up the clock to 10Khz. RTT computation as Erik pointed out. If you want to minimize latency in usermode drivers and deal with simple(r) hardware. Lots of uses.
