@Chris
I appreciate the offer to help.
I've been thinking about this problem a while and here are my thoughts... It
seems to me that ntpd has the goal of keeping extremely accurate time - which
is important for many obvious reasons. However

The problem is Windows does not multitask well. I've

Is that NT3.5 fact still valid ?
Never understood why anyone would use Windows for real work anyway.
The thing that it does best is waiting ever faster for the next
keypress from the user.

The problem on a VM system is that the frequency jumps around. Ie, when
the VM is running, its frequency should be very close to the fundamental

What do you know about that?

No, that is not the problem. The problem is that the computer has an

Right. So what would be good is a solution along the lines of those methods
that simply use the time off the time servers without worrying about the local
clock, but that 'fix' the local clock in a more friendly way like ntpd does.
(See my other reply for a few other ideas).
Appartently timesharing is for educational environments now; and not just for

How are you going to measure the offset?

As I outline in my other post, this method wouldn't care about offset. It
isn't
about precision accuracy, it's about relative consistency.
