• Gordon Rayburn reported that:
  "I was getting "calcru: runtime went backwards" errors until sysctl.conf was updated with "kern.timecounter.hardware=TSC".  Timecounter was using two clocks, the VPC clock and the host system clock.  I chose the TSC clock as it was reported as slower than the ACPI-safe clock.  I figured (guessed) that it was better to use the slower clock as I have my VPC setup to use less cpu when off-focus of the guest o/s"
• Matthew Swinbourne writes that, if you notice the clock running very quickly, then "..if you set kern.timecounter.hardware=i8254 in /etc/sysctl.conf and reboot or set it via the cmd line "sysctl kern.timecounter.hardware=i8254" it slows down to normal time"
