 Hello,
 
 I'm experiencing the exact same issue on 7.0/amd64. I have an Asrock
 A780FullDisplayPort mainboard (with an AMD Athlon64 X2 CPU, CnQ
 disabled, so the CPU doesn't throttle and always runs at 2.0Ghz, tested
 with both ACPI HPET enabled and disabled in bios), and looking at NTP it
 appears my clock is between 1-3 seconds slow each time it synchronizes.
 
 kern.timecounter.choice: TSC(-100) HPET(900) ACPI-safe(850) i8254(0)
 dummy(-1000000)
 
 I tried setting kern.timecounter.hardware to HPET (default), ACPI-safe
 and i8254. Neither of these solved the issue. I also set kern.hz=100
 which didn't solve the issue either.
