But what to resolve there?
I just want to always have a stable source "cpu ticks", and then everything else
should just work?

BTW, if someone comes up with a patch for more or less correct accounting when
"cpu ticks" frequency is allowed to change, then I am all for it.
But, IMO, it's just easier to use stable "cpu ticks".
