5-10 minutes. /sys/log/timesync should be informative.

impossible. venti doesn't even share a namespace with you.
if you want to prove me wrong, modify /sys/src/cmd/vent/srv/utils.c:/^now
like so (untested)
u32int
now(void)
{
uint t;
static uint t0, jump;
t = time(nil);
if(t < t0){
if(jump == 0)
fprint(2, "now earlier than before: %ud %ud\n", t0, t);
jump = 1;
return t0;
}
jump = 0;
t0 = t;
return t;
}
