While I usually see microsecond jitter, I have seen it as high as a
few milliseconds when the interrupt load on the machine was high and
the cpu was slow.

I setup a system for a user here for pps (pulse per second signal),
and he was quite upset to see the occasional spike in his data.  Fast
interrupts reduced the occurance of spikes from a few an hour to one a 
day.
