They can glitch with interrupts, but I have never seen this happen personally.
Actually the Pwm's 1-12 are 17ms speed normal refresh rate while the Pwm's 13-16 have a 2 ms refresh rate. Victors can work with the fast 2ms refresh rate, servos can't.

I think the Pwm's 13-16 are hardware generated from pins called CCP1, CCP2,...

I don't understand how these can be affected by the software?
The values are in software but if the software is slow to execute then the value just won't change really fast.
