I have come to understand and appreciate this fact more and more through

In your opinion, short of re-engineering the PC, is there anything that
can be done to step up the timing accuracy (and hence up the real-time
performance) of the PC?  What [hardware-based] technical action would you
think can up the real-time performance of the PC?
