Can someone tell me why it is that Xenix keeps such lousy time?

We are running various flavours of SCO Xenix on true blue IBM AT's
and Hewlett Packard Vectra RS/20's (386) and none of these machines
keeps time better than a $20 watch.  Systems are often 5 minutes slow
in a week.

I'm sure that the Motorola 146818 can keep better time than this, so
what is responsible?

Forgive and email me if this is a trite question, but I've seen no
mention of it in the last two months.
