I think that it would depend on the clock speed of the device being 
interrupted. There is obviously a certain window of time in which the 
interrupt has to be recognised - I would have thought that this would 
decrease with greater clock speeds. I'll be running the TINY2313s at 
12MHz in the first instance - that being the fastest crystals I have on 
hand, without trying overclocking.

But, as Harry points out (albeit jokingly,) how is this worse than a 
jittery analogue system for musical purposes. (As opposed to 
instrumentation grade signal generators or whatever.) After all, exactly 
how many analogue systems are actually in *tune* ;-)
