I have one machine which failes to keep decent time with ACPI enabled,
but it's more like .5sec/sec.  Disabling ACPI "fixed" that machine (it's
an old thin client so I don't care if it stops being supported at some
point).  .42sec/hr seems to be within the relm of crappy PC hardware and
is probably correctable with NTP.
