completely unusable unless you want to break out the SMT soldering gear,
razor, and magnet wire to swap physical interrupt lines.  apple in their
infinite stuck-in-1984 wisdom decided that the clock interrupt takes
lowest priority, and if you're getting network traffic or disk I/O, the
clock interrupt gets starved out and NTP can't really deal with it.
