My hunch, and its JUST that, is that a prescale of 2 with a
16MHz processor clock, would be a major problem. Again, a
hunch, I would not expect much better than a few bits
"accuracy" if that.

The rule I have used, without any substantiation or
validation, is that every doubling of the clock rate above
the maximum specified loses one bit.
