Hello. I'm not sure who to address my reply to. Thanks for the link to
the configuration info. Here are a couple of quotes from it:
-M
Raise scheduler precision to its maximum (1 ms) using
timeBeginPeriod. (Windows only)
-P /priority/
To the extent permitted by the operating system, run the ntpd at the
specified priority.
It doesn't appear to me that -M is related to process priority, but to
internal scheduler timing. I tinkered around with the -P parameter a
little, but couldn't detect any changes.
Sincerely,
Ron
