<bikeshed=blue> They say it is .... but it is not always. I have had multiple cases in KVM and some in Xen where supposedly the clock is kept up but what you end up is actually watching time go backwards if you hit heavy load in IO or CPU or Mem. Of course if you run into hardware like that.. you can install it after your DB has gone poopsies. </bikeshed> -- Stephen J Smoogen.
