Martin,
Thanks for the suggestions -- yes, it *is* a Linux-only box.

I don't KNOW what is making the system in question slow, but...
linux is smart enough to know the difference between UTC and your local
timezone. So, if the machine in question is a *linux only* box:
set cmos time to UTC
set linux "ZONE" to your local zone
set linux "UTC" true
set linux "ARC" false
I've setup a few aliases for 'root' (.bashrc), that I run from time to
time:
alias set_sysclock='/usr/sbin/ntpdate 132.239.254.49'
alias set_hwclock='/sbin/hwclock --utc --systohc'
alias set_time='/usr/sbin/ntpdate 132.239.254.49;/sbin/hwclock --utc
--systohc'
Works for me.
