I guess my question is -- if you're so concerned about the time lag, then
why don't you just install ntpd?  It's quite easy to set up (see previous
discussions on this group), and will solve this problem permanently.

I agree it's strange that a kernel upgrade appeared to affect the clock,
but if you just get ntpd working, you'll never have to worry about it
anymore!  Sure, it's treating the symptom and not the cause, but sometimes
that's the quickest, easiest way to fix a problem.
