Hi Jack,

Don't go blow the bank yet - I found a minor bug - in my effort to not
take forever to sync, I kludged the adjustment to be adaptive - ie: if
it's way off, it moves more quickly - however a slow machine starts off
so far from where I default it, that it moves so far it undershoots
0 and wraps to a very slow value - process repeats with indeteriminate
settings fluctuating all over the place and the virtual cpu barely crawls
along ... not a problem is the machine is fast enough that the setting is
fairly high.

Don't have much time today to look further into it, however I will try to
get it fixed by the weekend (or implement the real algorithm).

Regards,
Dave
