Since the PIC CLK input to output pin transition delay is relatively
large (50ns or more on some datasheets) it is likely to have a
relatively large tempco (several hundred ps/C) so this may be the
primary limiting factor unless the thermal environment is very stable. A
fast external resynchronising flipflop may have a clock to output delay
and associated tempco at least 10X lower than this.
Measuring the PIC clock input to PPS output delay tempco should be
relatively easy if its tempco is indeed that large.
