True, although as I said, it's taking several µs to get through the
loop, and the gpu clock tick is far smaller than that, so even adding
the two values together to make it fit the current implementation won't
make the deviation that much larger.

That, at least, would be easy to compute, and scale nicely if we added
more clocks in the future.

It seems likely. How about we do the above computation for the current
code and leave it at that?
