The time in the guest runs faster than the "real" time, because we have to
correct for the amount of time spent in different processes (after all, the
plex86 process is just one process on your linux system). For the same
reason, running an "RDTSC thread" makes no sense (it wouldn't make much sense
anyway, because you might as well use the host timing functions.) There is some
timing code in place already in the VM, which is where this needs to be handled.

PS still coding & active & stuff, but a bit flummoxed by the huge amount of
emails I'm suddenly getting... can't we split the lists or something?
