There can be some interesting behaviour with interval timers and NTP.
For example, if you set an interval timer to occur at midnight each night it can sometimes end up firing a second or more before midnight. I don 't remember which way your system clock has to be out, i.e. whether it's the clock naturally gains and NTP is slowing it, or vice versa.
