From /usr/ports/sysutils/clockspeed/pkg-message:
Clockspeed uses the libtai library, check /usr/ports/devel/libtai for
more details. TAI time measure is off 22 seconds from UTC time
measure. Therefore, your system time will show a 22 secs difference from
your time source after you've installed this port.
To fix this, you could follow this simple recipe created with PR
ports/27617.
[instructions to rebuild the system's zoneinfo]
Given that the software requires system modifications to run properly, and
that it essentially emulates NTP in a non-NTP-compatible manner, does it
actually have any advantages worth knowing about?
