Below is another patch.

I was hurt and disappointed by your
> Eeuuuuw. :)
so I got rid of the 9/10 thing.

This version keeps track of the time between ticks (as reported by the
host's gettimeofday) and adjusts its sleeping and reporting ticks
accordingly.

It's still undersleeping a little - your little test once reported 19
seconds for a 20 second sleep.  Otherwise, it's reporting sleep times
that are right on the money.
