Performance concerns should be delayed until a problem is understood.
I wasn't trying to make any point about performance.
The reason I suggest a shared schedule is because I think it will
be complicated to get merging tiered schedules while preserving
ordered merging for the fractional values. It's a problem that
the pjrepeater test programs don't address.
However, I must admit I haven't really thought about how to combine
custom synchronization policies on tiered schedules.
And of course, there is a trivial way to get floating point time values:
scale the numbers up.
