I need to generate a square wave on the order of nanoseconds, wanted to see what the maximum frequency that could be obtained by timer0 interrupt.
I also wanted to see how to set starting the 120MHz internal clock to achieve the highest possible frequencies.

Don't use an interrupt for generating a precise wave, the jitter will drive you crazy. Use either a PWM output or regular timer direct output.

Use the MAT pins and set the output to toggle and reset on compare match, no interrupt needed.
