Maybe on the microsleeps, yeah. I've noticed that ntploggps uses a "lot" 
of cpu time relative to ntplogtemp for example, so it does introduce a 
continuous load. I have my cpu pegged at 'performance', and using cpu 
partitioning to keep ntpd on core 2 and gpsd on core 2, so it shouldn't 
be moving around. But hey, it's an RPI, I've squeezed the living 
daylights out of performance tweaking it. I think the microsleeps is 
probably the "culprit", which I'm happy to have, now to start monitoring 
ntploggps so it'll get restarted if it dies again!
