Hi,

Is it physical or virtual environment? If virtual, clock issues are
common and, in case of VMWare, their tools handle them because ntp
cannot. Still, never use a virtual machine as a time reference.
If it's physical, my two cents are clueless. Maybe you wish to reduce
the frequency of the clock; I know it's a kernel parameter, but don't
remember which one.
Best regards,
Jil
