Subject:   Timers in drivers vs userland

If I place a timer directly in a driver (like Ethernet)  will it be
subject to less jitter and more consistency than if it were in
Userland?

I know FreeBSD is not "real time," but I need to be able to run a
polling algorithm with about 1 ms accuracy.

Thanks in advance.

(Please tell me if there is a better list for this question.)
