When you say system time do you mean "hardware" time? or the running kernel's time? The hardware time doesn't work anyway since the box's RTC is stuck somewhere in 2057 but the hardware timer interrupt seems to be ticking at the right pace so i'm sure the kernel time does stay consistent (with normal drift). I had problems regarding timestamps on files in Linux (annoying because configure scripts would think the files have changed whilst it was running and hence an endless loop) but i don't seem to have the same problem in FreeBSD.
