Clocks would be the number of CPU clock cycles spend on each iteration
averaged since the last message, the time is the calculated time based on
this cycle count.
As has been mentioned one this list earlier, the time is based on the
processor speed as set in the configuration, so it doesn't necessarily
have anything to do with reality.
