Amen..

The pool, or more specifically, Ask, needs to view the project with the classic 80/20 view (The first 80% of the work takes 20% of the effort, the last 20% takes the remaining 80%).

There is no need to try and solve that last 20%. Those that wish to do so are not consumers of the pool; they are *in* the pool.

Scalability is a pressing problem, sub-second accuracy is not.

Most of the pool users use NTP to prevent their computer clock from

correct, well that's nice. You are talking about the effects of 100ms
latency (~10 ms jitter...) 98% of our users could care less. The ones
that do care can/will/should take the time to find a set of ntp servers
that suits them.


Totally agree. Anybody that needs < 1 second accuracy needs more than NTP we
can offer in reality.
