One question. Why is this system running Microsoft Windows?
[]
===================================

Because the OP is using the system to run Windows software.  The OS is 
chosen to meet the needs of the application.

Here's the performance of a Netbook PC here (Samsung N150 plus) also running 
an Intel Atom, and also running the same software which John runs.  It's 
synced over Wi-Fi to a local stratum-1 server, with both minpoll and maxpoll 
set to 5.

As you can see, it mostly within a millisecond, with occasional excursions 
to two milliseconds.  It's quite adequate for the software in question, 
which only needs the time to within a fraction of a second.

Cheers,
David
