John, Good to hear that your timekeeping has been restored! I would have though that "spread spectrum" (implying a continually changing random frequency) was definitely something to avoid for accurate timekeeping! As you say, changing the HAL is not something to be undertaken lightly. I wonder if you could check just the effects of the spread-spectrum being enabled or not?
