-/* For proper operations time_interpolator clocks must run slightly slower
- * than the standard clock since the interpolator may only correct by having
- * time jump forward during a tick. A slower clock is usually a side effect
- * of the integer divide of the nanoseconds in a second by the frequency.
- * The accuracy of the division can be increased by specifying a shift.
- * However, this may cause the clock not to be slow enough.
- * The interpolator will self-tune the clock by slowing down if no
- * resets occur or speeding up if the time jumps per analysis cycle
- * become too high.
- *
- * Setting jitter compensates for a fluctuating timesource by comparing
- * to the last value read from the timesource to insure that an earlier value
- * is not returned by a later call. The price to pay
- * for the compensation is that the timer routines are not as scalable anymore.
