Slight rephrasing: To even prevent the RTC from progressing during suspension, you can set @option{clock} to @code{vm} (virtual clock). @samp{clock=vm} is recommended especially in icount mode in order to preserve determinism; however, note that in icount mode the speed of the virtual clock is variable and can in general differ from the host clock. (omitting the reference to -icount auto etc.) Paolo
