CLK_CALIBRATION_LOOP only iterates calibration of the i8254 and TSC timers relative to the RTC. None of the clock calibration stuff is very useful. All the clock frequencies depend on the temperature, so their values at boot time are only slightly more related to their values at run time than their values at a random time. Average values are probably better than boot time values. Bruce To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
