CPU Clock Freq

[Nikolas Britton]

Can anyone explain why the clock is off by 17Mhz? This is non critical 
btw I was just playing with the diff command an wasn't expecting to see 
this, the system is FreeBSD 5.2.1 running as a guest OS in VMWare (Win2k 
host).....my guess is its just vmware playing tricks on freebsd...
