From 6cbc65227cc7ad9c94c8b8e0d2cd945feaeee532 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: wollman <wollman@FreeBSD.org>
Date: Thu, 12 Oct 1995 20:39:49 +0000
Subject: Reduce jitter of Pentium microtime() implementation by letting the
 counter free-run and doing a subtract in microtime() rather than resetting
 the counter to zero at every clock tick.  In combination with the changes to
 kern_clock.c, this should eliminate all the immediately obvious sources of
 systematic jitter in timekeeping on Pentium machines.
