The first mail seemed to imply that the frequency shift is quite large,
this would require a large gardient.

If the observed error was very small, ok, this would explain the time lag.

But why do some voices lag, and others don't. Is there perhaps a large thermal
gradient also on the boards? I guess PSU.  Are the "failing" voices naer to 
areas of large power consumption ?

m.c.
