Hmm, "Illegal instruction". Ah, it's running on a 486-class machine. Let 
me try it on a higher-spec machine (Pentium+):

CPU Frequency: 1809482476.0000 hz (1809.4825 Mhz)  # of ticks in a 1 
period: 1809482380 ticks
CPU Frequency: 1809481374.4000 hz (1809.4814 Mhz)  # of ticks in a 10 
period: 18094813648 ticks

On the 1.8 GHz machine. So this approach may have some merit on Pentium+ 
machines. And it would definitely fix conflicts that users (like me) see 
when running the chrony NTP daemon that persistently updates the clock.

	But my area is not engine matters... I will pass that to Thibaut or 
Miguel or Michael or someone else who knows better.
