I get the same (correct) result when using another host running i386
linux to time the sleep command:

$ time ssh feynman "sleep 5; echo done"
done

real    0m5.102s
user    0m0.011s
sys     0m0.002s

Looks like it, but as far as I can tell this also causes the time of
day to advance twice as fast as it should... I would think Ian would
notice this before testing out "sleep".
