Or, one could do what's suggested in the ERTS release notes (erts-5.3.6):

"The '+c' switch has been added to disable time correction in the 
runtime system, this should be used on systems where one is certain 
no dramatic wall clock time changes will occur and the time correction 
algorithm is too costly (namely very fast Linux systems where loads 
of erlang:now() are executed). "
