Neat.
However, I think the problem addressed by the FAQ is not so much the
maximum interrupt freq, but how high a freq before you notice a
significant lag in your (non-trivial) program running in the foreground.
This is not the case in your experiment I think, or am I wrong?
Of course the rule of thumb offered by the FAQ may vary with program
type. A program that does a lot of waiting for user input could probably
use your timings, but a CPU intensive prog might have noticable lag even
below 10 kHz.
