We have the same problem and we have tried (at least twice) the
solution you describe. And we gave up.
First of all, there are dozens of ways a process can gets and use time
and not all of them are system calls (nor even library calls).
Second, if a valgrind-ed program communicates with other processes,
they also have to slowdown time.

I would be very interested to hear if anyone managed to slow down the
system clock and got reliable runs; meanwhile we are using command
flags to adjust our timeout values. :(

Beautiful is writing same markup. Internet Explorer 9 supports
standards for HTML5, CSS3, SVG 1.1,  ECMAScript5, and DOM L2 & L3.
