That would make sense, since the rs232 devices tend to be slew rate limited for noise rejection. Found some DS8921 driver / receiver devices, originally designed for hard drive data path use. Delay around 10-15 nS or so, which should be more than good enough. Single 5 volt rail as well. > I suspect it will be a bad outcome.

Remember hand optimising 6502 asm interrupt handlers years ago to tune timer accuracy, but that was a 1uS cycle machine, with handlers stretching out to 100uS or more. Don't have data, but modern cpus are much faster and in any case, there are other interrupt sources within the system which may contribute to jitter. Don't know enough to say, but perhaps ntp will average out the two to give a more accurate result ?. Would be interesting to hook it up and see what happens anyway...
