I ran that ten times (so that total of 100 xclocks would be expected)
and it seems to open xclocks very seldomly here:

attempt number                   1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
number of xclock windows opened: 0 2 0 2 0 0 0 1 0 1

Most users here are not using ssh-keys so they need to type a password
for ssh (I did use ssh-keys myself when testing this though).
