mac68ks lose a massive amount of time during disk access, because
clock interrupts are at a lower--or the same?--priority as I/O
interrupts, so they get postponed till after the I/O is done. My
understanding is that this is true under any OS, but Mac OS shows it
a bit less by cheating and guessing how long it took to do a disk
access.

You sure that's not just a dead clock battery?
