Page 118 of the tutorial is talking about the "tick()" method of the CPU, which is called every CPU cycle. As described on page 29 of the tutorial, and in the email you reference, the "tick" unit that measures global time is not related to the clock cycle. These are not directly related, i.e., the tick() method is not called on every tick. In retrospect I suppose the naming is suboptimal.
