>Description:
System time goes really slow when using AMD K5. I could see this by
ntpdate -d some.time.server over and over and the time difference
would get bigger and bigger really fast.
>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
Put a Pentium 90 in it temporarily and it appears to be working.
I run ntpdate -d some.time.server and the time difference fluctuates
between a really small positive and negative number

 Confirmed problem exists again as of version 4.8.  I could not find
 information at what release it appeared again, or what was done the last
 time to fix it (other than installing a P90).  This causes many issues,
 including slow package installs and various firewall and logging issues.
