How horrible is horrible?

I run a 386 SMP kernel from the same period, and I see a mean
hourly offset of |0.008| sec.  For an aging peecee in an imperfect
environment, this doesn't strike me as horribly bad time disciplining.

Do you see a difference between an SMP kernel's behaviour and
that of a single-processor kernel on that machine?
