Agreed.

There's a project that provides a high resolution timer for the linux 
kernel: (yes, I know this is a windows mailing list)

http://sourceforge.net/projects/high-res-timers/

It provides an implementation of the POSIX timers using a combination of
several methods: the old 8254, the internal Pentium TSC and the ACPI 
timers. Currently there are patches for 2.4 and 2.6, but it's not on the 
main trunk jet.

However, the problem is not to have a good system timer, but to deal 
with old systems, that still have a buggy timers. As you say, a code 
example of the voting method would really help.
