Miroslav,
Better recalibrate your slide rule. On a 2.8 GHz dual-core Pentium
running OpenSolaris 10, the measured precision is -21, which works out
to 470 ns. You claim ten times faster. What snake oil are you using for
your processor? To check, try running the jitter.c program in the
distribution.

Don't get fooled by the MINSTEP. Precision is defined by the time to
read the system clock at the user interface and I have never seen
anything less than 500 ns for that, more typically 1000 ns.
This is what ntpd prints here (patched to use smaller MINSTEP):
ntpd[9357]: proto: precision = 0.086 usec
I've seen values as low as 40 ns. The system has to use TSC as
clocksource though.
