    I'm obsessed with interrupts because it gives me a higher sampling rate.

    I could set up and itimer for a recurring 10ms timeout and see how much extra I
    waited, but then I can only get 100 samples/sec.

    With /dev/rtc (on intel) you can get 20x more samples in the same amount of time.
