HPET is a travel out to ACPI system registers mapped into memory, this
should never be never cached.  That's why HPET is really slow to read,
but it should be fairly consistent.  I've just tested it with (more)
load and the histogram stayed essentially the same.  It's only a single
core of course.

Here's what my (unloaded) Haswell does via TSC:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
ntpsec/attic> ./clocks
      res   avg     min  dups  CLOCK
        1    22      12        CLOCK_REALTIME
  4000000     4 4000058    -2  CLOCK_REALTIME_COARSE
        1    16      12        CLOCK_MONOTONIC
        1   242     232        CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW
        1   241     232        CLOCK_BOOTTIME

Histogram: CLOCK_REALTIME, 5 ns per bucket, 1000000 samples.
        ns      hits
        12    799739
        17    200210
        22         2
        27         2
        57         1
46 samples were bigger than 62.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

That also doesn't change much with load.

Achim.
