Old old systems just bumped the time in big steps on a timer interrupt. Most modern OSes use something like the Intel TSC for timekeeping so the clock ticks in nanosecond scale steps.
ntpd has a lot of ugly code to fuzz the clock. I don't really understand that area. I think it makes sense if the clock has big ticks. Do we want to support those systems? If not, I think we can clean up a lot of tiny code chunks. -- These are my opinions.
