A variable but unknown amount - could be more, or less, but only with respect to the start position. They won't drift from each other once started, as long as they are resolved to a common word clock.
My test involved one machine running DVS and another with HDX/Sync HD etc.
I didn't test with two Sync HDs and a common video reference; presumably this does what it says on the tin, which is, the start time is precisely frame aligned.

In my use case, as a redundant recording system when I'm recording live events in an effort to make sure that they are both exactly the same length and start and stop at the same time; or in the rare case (not having encountered it yet though) that I need to record more than 64 channels at a time, I can use both systems to record at the same time also with the exact same start and stop and file lengths; it seems like that wouldn't be that big of a deal, since eventually I'll be working on a unified single session anyway.

If it's just as a redundant recorded then it doesn't really matter (but Satellite probably doesn't provide as much value either). If you need to line sessions up from two machines without a common video reference, you could use a 2-pop or something.
