Oops forgot to add the TrapTimerPorts:

TrapTimerPorts=<Boolean>

Default: True
Purpose: Specifies whether Windows should trap read and write
         operations to the system timer ports that are performed by
         applications. If this setting is disabled, Windows will not trap
         these operations, allowing applications that frequently read or
         write to the timer to run faster. However, this may interfere with
         ability of Windows to keep accurate system time. If this setting is
         disabled, Windows can usually detect when an application has
         changed the timer interrupt interval and then make any
         adjustments to the time. If your system's time appears to be
         running fast or slow, enable this setting. If you do not want to
         enable this setting, enable the SyncTime setting. This causes
         Windows to check the time periodically and then make any
         necessary adjustments.
