During some experiments with an external clock (in a FPGA), we saw that the TSC clock drifted approx. 2.5ms per second. This drift was caused by the current way of calculating the scale. In our case cpu_khz had a value of 3292725. This resulted in a scale value of 310. But when doing the calculation by hand it shows that the actual value is 310.9886188491, so a value of 311 would be more precise. With this change the value is rounded.

Thanks for sending this in! I've queued it, but because I was slow here, it will have to wait for 3.9. Sorry for the delay, and thanks again! -john
