The PIC's I use have essentially no jitter. If they generate a 1PPS the edge
and the pulse width are perfect, down to picoseconds. The talk about "other
stuff" and "priority" and "number of compares" and "ambiguity" is worrisome.
It sounds like a design or coding flaw to me, like what happens when people
try to do precise time with a high level language.
It's fun to debug software with a scope.
