Marcelo,
Try adding either,
hint.apic.0.disabled=1
or
kern.hz="100"
to /boot/loader.conf
Reboot the machine and check your time.
The first line is the patch originally noted in the VMWare KB the
latter is from the FreeBSD handbook on the subject.
Regards,
Mikel

Hi All,
I'm facing some strange behavior with an skew in the system clock.
The hardware is a Dell PowerEdge 2950III, running two instances of
FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE-p5 - amd64 over an ESXi hipervisor.
To both were allocated 4 processors and 4 GB of RAM, and dmesg for
both are identical.
I'm using clockspeed to synchronize the clock, but just one of them
is delaying the clock a lot.
The hardware clock is ok as far as the other virtual machine.
Where should I start to investigate?
