Time was originally pretty correct.

Running _fast_?  That's not lost interrupts, then.  (It could be
_extra_ interrupts, but that strikes me as a less likely failure mode.)

Yup. Something seriously wrong. And I would not exclude bugs in simh causing
*lots* of extra interrupts. Especially considering the Ken also running
under simh without seeing this effect.

I wonder if idle detection plays a role...

I have idle detection enabled, and it is working. But right now, the simulated VAX isn't exactly idle at all. :-)
