Turn on ntp. Really. ntp does a phenomally good job of keeping clocks
synchronized while still maintaining monotonicity (which is required for

With pool.ntp.org providing automagic time servers, there really isn't
any good reason not to use it anymore.
ntp will actually work out what the consistent drift in your clock is
and cancel it out. It's that good. However, if you really are drifting
that badly, it's probably time to replace the battery on the motherboard.
How long does it have to run before it works out "what the consistent
drift in your clock is and cancel it out"? I'm on a dial-up connection
and can't really leave it connected all the time.
