I am not selling anything... where did you get that from? Perhaps I am
just mis-understanding your comment, which has an interesting
grammatical structure.

The simple fact is that timekeeping in VMs isn't particularly easy,
because the guest VMs are in effect "paused" at random intervals, and
then interrupts are fired more quickly than normal to "catch up".
Running ntp as a client in a VM without any other compensating
controls works well for lightly-loaded systems, but not so well for a
busy host with may VMs.
