Yeah, it won't be precise.  That's why there's PLL search code at all, 
and why it has a fuzz factor for finding "good enough".

I ran the math for the maximum error in the PLL search back when I was 
fixing a case where it fell through and failed to find timings at all. 
See 6ba770dc5c334aff1c055c8728d34656e0f091e2.
