[Simh] How to keep RSTS in sync w/ "wall time"?

Hello!

I'm on Linux/AMD64, using SimH 4.0-0b to emulate a PDP11/70. I disabled
CPU idling, and set throttling to 1360K. Based on info I found
don't remember where, this should probably give me a realistic 11/70
speed (if not, let me know).

The problem I'm having is that RSTS' (V04B-17) idea of a minute is quite
a long one: its watch is very slow and it lags behind. Same as when I
tried enabling CPU idling.

So, basically, I'm looking for tips on how to get a realistic 11/70
experience (speed-wise) while keeping RSTS in sync with my hardware
clock.

Thanks in advance,
DN
