Yes, you are right.  The value is in seconds.  However, I assumed that
Harold knew this, because I quoted the man page to him and setting the
threshold to 1 nanosecond makes no sense at all.

The real problem is the drifting away.  It is a sign of broken HW (or
driver), and we don't have any configuration parameter to cure that!

Thanks,
