if you don't mind your parallels p9 to run with the wrong time you can
simply stop timesync and you'll have no issues with suspend/restart.
the problem is that when timesync puts the new time in after a suspend
the system recalculated the cpu clock rate and forces it down the
cpu's throat, which causes time to run much faster than usual.

here's a snippet from a discussion we had with jmk trying to figure
this one out a few months ago:

i don't know a solution, i simply avoid running timesync under parallels
