This is a known issue that we have been working (slowly) to resolve. There are several things contributing to this and we have been knocking them down one at a time. It's better than it has been, but worse than it should be. For now, a 1000HZ host *may* make a difference for you but it's probably still not going to keep perfect time and it's just a workaround anyway. -ml
