8.184 TODDRAG (Display or set TOD c
lock drag factor)
8.184.1 Function
The TODDRAG command displays the current setting of the TOD clock drag factor or sets a new value.
This parameter can be used to slow down or speed up the TOD clock by a factor of nn. A significant slow-
down can improve the performance of some operating systems which consume large amounts of CPU
time processing timer interrupts. A drag factor of 2.0 slows down the clock by 50%, a drag factor of 0.5
doubles the speed of the clock, a drag factor of 1.01 slows down the clock by 1% and 0.99 speeds up the
clock by 1%.
