Because you don't have a perfectly accurate clock in the machine. :) You can tweak with the settings to try and figure out which timer in the system generates more accurate time. Bruce posted about this a long time ago, so it's probably in the archives. It should be documented somewhere (if it is, it should be documented somewhere more obvious). :) 'man clock' doesn't help me to determine how to make my system clock more accurate.., and LINT has a bunch of: # More undocumented options for linting. options CLK_CALIBRATION_LOOP options "CLK_USE_I8254_CALIBRATION" options "CLK_USE_I586_CALIBRATION" But I think they above have something to do with it.
