5-10 minutes.  /sys/log/timesync should be informative.

impossible.  venti doesn't even share a namespace with you.

if you want to prove me wrong, modify /sys/src/cmd/vent/srv/utils.c:/^now
like so (untested)

u32int
now(void)
{
	uint t;
	static uint t0, jump;

	t = time(nil);
	if(t < t0){
		if(jump == 0)
			fprint(2, "now earlier than before: %ud %ud\n", t0, t);
		jump = 1;
		return t0;
	}
	jump = 0;
	t0 = t;
	return t;
}
