Oops!  I spoke too fast.  I did measure that a number of times and
it seemed to be ok; but I was doing other things there as well.
Now I left that box alone for over an hour.  The time was ok around
18:05.  Now here is 19:15:46 and my laptop clock shows 18:41:06, i.e.
over 34 minutes behind.  An output from 'hwclock -r' is correct
(until it will get clobbered on a shutdown).

In dmesg I see (with 'hpet=force'):

hpet clockevent registered
hpet0: at MMIO 0xfed00000, IRQs 2, 8, 0
hpet0: 3 64-bit timers, 14318180 Hz
tracer: 772 pages allocated for 65536 entries of 48 bytes
   actual entries 65620
ACPI: RTC can wake from S4

Apparently 'hpet' clock is not good anyway.  Ideas?  /proc/cpuinfo
gives:
