Yes. I tried this with a chrt -f 99. But I still end up getting those
large deviations.

John, mq_timedrecieve takes abstime. Isnt it supposed to be
CLOCK_REALTIME ? Anyway, I tried with MONOTONIC .. mq_timedrecieve
doesnt block on that.

I was just looking at some code in the kernel. linux/ipc/mqueue.c
+442. This line says:

time = schedule_timeout(timeout);

Maybe this is why produces a timeout that is inaccurate. Shouldnt it
be schedule_hrtimeout ?
