Hi Aryeh,

two things:

1) is your clock set correctly? I received your mail *very * out of
order on the mailing list.

2) A thread that just happened started addressing some of these
questions. It's available here:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2007-October/160307.html

You might find that a nice place to start.
