One day after the lenny upgrade and last boot of the machine, there
does not seem to be a great time drift. I was running something like

while :; do
  date; /bin/ps -o lstart,command | grep /ps; date
done

and that showed:

...

Thu May 14 13:18:42 EST 2009
Thu May 14 13:18:42 2009 /bin/ps -o lstart,command
Thu May 14 13:18:42 EST 2009

Thu May 14 13:18:43 EST 2009
Thu May 14 13:18:43 2009 /bin/ps -o lstart,command
Thu May 14 13:18:43 EST 2009
(above block repeated 22 times)

Thu May 14 13:18:43 EST 2009
Thu May 14 13:18:42 2009 /bin/ps -o lstart,command   <<< note bad time
Thu May 14 13:18:43 EST 2009

Thu May 14 13:18:43 EST 2009
Thu May 14 13:18:43 2009 /bin/ps -o lstart,command
Thu May 14 13:18:43 EST 2009
(above block repeated 8 times)

Thu May 14 13:18:44 EST 2009
Thu May 14 13:18:44 2009 /bin/ps -o lstart,command
Thu May 14 13:18:44 EST 2009

...

which would suggest something other than a few milliseconds drift.
Rather curious; the "bad time" always positioned about the 3/4 of
the elapsed second...
