It is one of those problems that is really easy to ignore, until you can't. I was using a cheapo 8051 based logic probe the other day and had a lot of fun dealing with not only jitter of two different oscillators (probe + device under test) - but differences in response time between probes (within the same sample period). If you ever find yourself wondering much influence your MCU's 4 clock cycle per instruction architecture has on the waveforms you're looking at... you're about to have a very bad time.
