What's the reason for clock jitter?  Is it because most timeouts are

Yes, the application interfaces are all defined as 100 Hz (10 mSec).
If the POSIX timer implementation is done properly, it should be
possible to determine the timer parameters to eliminate this, but
I doubt any applications do this.  They all assume 10 mSec :-)
