I have to admit, I only use it when I need to run a quick utils and don't want to go through the hassle of rebooting the machine (at work, we are mainly windows based, so it happens more often than you might think).

TBH, it doesn't bother me that much, and I think OSX resyncs the time fairly regularly anyway. Certainly seems to when the machine comes out of sleep mode.

That, and the fact that I've got into the habit of ignoring the onscreen clocks, as all our PCs sync to a time server that is a few minutes fast. Sadly, I can't correct it (don't have admin rights over the time server) and as Active Directory's password encryption is time sensitive, I don't think it a good idea to reset the clock on that server.
