good test. I wish I'd thought of it. Life below a ms is a PITA.
For comparison, an aarch64 and an x86_64:

Thanks for the numbers. I wondered if irtt would run on that Archer.
1ms seems to be a kind of timing purgatory, where above that things look good, below that are the demon-things and right at 1ms it’s a mixture. There’s usually some discontinuity in percent error around 1us or 100ns like in your numbers. Below some point I guess you’re just testing cpu / system call overhead. I was going to remove those lower numbers then figured it’s fun to look at anyway.
Macs don’t seem to do as well as Linux at 1ms and above, which is what spawned the timer compensation stuff. The ‘hybrid’ timer can be useful still down to 100us or so, and the ‘busy’ timer is currently needed for anything below that. Looks like timerfds could be good down to 5us or so, without a modified kernel:
