>Description:
When running FreeBSD as a guest OS inside vmware (VMWare Workstation 6.0.2) on a windows host (Windows 2000 SP 4) the clock lags behind. It feels like it's going slower than the real time, so to speak. When kern.hz is set to 1000 it lags behind real much, when setting kern.hz to 100 the slownes is much less, but it's still there.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install FreeBSD inside vmware, fiddle with kern.hz and see the clock lag behind.
>Fix:
