I was looking at the man pages for adjtime(2) on a Decstation 3100 and
found the following.

        "Time is incremented in 3.906ms ticks on MIPS and 10ms ticks on
         VAX.  When *adjtime* is called with an argument other than
	 zero, ticks of 9ms or 11ms are used until the time is
	 corrected. A delta .............."

The values 11ms and 9ms only make sense for VAX. Could anyone tell me
what the corresponding values for MIPS are? Thanks.
