[coyotos-dev] Real time vs. Wall Time

[Jonathan S. Shapiro]

I would like to *beg* that we avoid a term confusion. Sam used this
term, and (as I suspected) it was at the root of a confusion I had with
Charlie landau.

Terms:

  Real Time:   of or pertaining to the execution of programs having
               a requirement for a scheduling contract

  Wall Time:   of or pertaining to a generally agreed time w.r.t
               some human reference time base.

PLEASE let's not get these confused! I know the PC has a "real time
clock". It is anything *but* real time.
