This file serves to compensate the hardware (cmos) clock for drift. If the drift is very wrong, your clock will be set very wrong on next boot.
Do you know how drift is computed?
I can guess, but no, I don't know. Look at "man hwclock" and friends. Basically, it calculates how much the cmos clock deviates from the "real" time as kept by the system since last time, and calculates a factor to compensate the cmos clock drift, to be applied on next boot (actually, next time you copy the time from cmos to system), - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
