 Looking through man pages working on an unrelated problem, I found:
 
 man timed says:
 
      Messages printed by the kernel on the system console occur with inter-
      rupts disabled.  This means that the clock stops while they are printing.
      A machine with many disk or network hardware problems and consequent mes-
      sages cannot keep good time by itself.  Each message typically causes the
      clock to lose a dozen milliseconds.
 
 If a kernel printf disables Ethernet interrupts for 12 milliseconds,
 that would create the problem.
