i think it is weird too,
as far as i could mesure it, it took 60 seconds, here it is:
cpu% date && sleep 60 && date
Thu Aug 28 22:19:21 CET 2008
Thu Aug 28 22:20:22 CET 2008
cpu%
My timezones are all set up to be CET (host and plan9 guest), the hardware clock is set to UTC. I am running vanilla 2.6.25 kernel, on a gentoo system.
Thank you for helping debug this problem, is there any more info I can give to help this process?

John
