Interesting. I had clockres on my machine but never bothered to learn what it does. I've used that in code that I wanted a better timer but ended up using QueryPerformanceCounter/Frequency and rolling my own timer class but that can be a bigger pain than just using the timer. On my machine, I got similar settings and found chrome being the sole offender which is probably the worst offender in many ways. Firefox and IE were clean so Google is the outlier and given I always have Chrome browser open somewhere while SQL or devenv is not always open, I suppose that's suboptimal wonder if they will change it.
