This is clearly documented in the 2.4 Release Notes:
If your clock seems to be running slowly, you should patch
the clocktic variable in the kernel. Lower values will speed
up the UNIX clock. The command to adjust the clock is
patch /system5 clocktic <number>. <number> differs depending
on the manufacturer of your machine. Some trial values are:
19885 (0x4DAD for some IBM systems), 20499 (0x5013 for a
10MHz Acer AT), or 19824 (0x4D70) for an 8MHz NCR PCA). You
will need to experiment for particular hardware.
NOTE: The 'patch' command called for in these instructions is not the
Public Domain 'patch' but rather Microport's /etc/patch.
