Attached some info from util-linux-ng maillist. I suppose we should
eventually remove hwclock from rc-scripts or at least make it conditional (with
explicit modprobe rtc just before).

Hallo!

Recently people have been trying to trim boot times, and the one-second
delay in hwclock to read or write the CMOS clock is much more noticable
in a 15 second boot than in a 60 second boot.

Many machines will have NTP configured and could do without the extra
accuracy that the synchronize_to_clock_tick() gives.

A patch
        http://chezphil.org/tmp/hwclock-add-notickwait.patch
was given in
        http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/620

which adds an option --notickwait to hwclock, to skip this synchronisation.

Are there any plans to integrate this patch in hwclock?

Regards,

Frank Kingswood

Let the kernel set the time, just apply the timezone offset:
