### INITIAL CLOCK CORRECTION
# This option is useful to quickly correct the clock on start if it's
-# off by a large amount. The value '10' means that if the error is less
-# than 10 seconds, it will be gradually removed by speeding up or
-# slowing down your computer's clock until it is correct. If the error
-# is above 10 seconds, an immediate time jump will be applied to correct
-# it. The value '1' means the step is allowed only on the first update
-# of the clock. Some software can get upset if the system clock jumps
+# off by a large amount. The value '1.0' means that if the error is less
+# than 1 second, it will be gradually removed by speeding up or slowing
+# down your computer's clock until it is correct. If the error is above
+# 1 second, an immediate time jump will be applied to correct it. The
+# value '3' means the step is allowed only in the first three updates of
+# the clock. Some software can get upset if the system clock jumps
# (especially backwards), so be careful!
