+-# MAX_IPS and SYSTEM_CLOCK_SYNC
+-# These two options are experimental, and may not even be implemented
+-# yet.  If MAX_IPS is set to a value other than 0, Bochs will try to
+-# slow down the simulation until the average instructions per unit time
+-# reaches MAX_IPS.  This can be used to prevent Bochs from speeding through
+-# wait intervals, which has caused problems with key autorepeats and
+-# other time sensitive tasks.  SYSTEM_CLOCK_SYNC prohibits the Bochs 
+-# simulation from running (very much) faster than the system clock, also
+-# by inserting delays occasionally.  Some examples of how ips,max_ips,
+-# and system_clock sync interact:
+-# 1. ips=500000, max_ips=0, system_clock_sync disabled
+-#    Bochs runs as fast as possible.  Timer interrupts are scheduled
+-#    as if it was running at 500000 instructions per second.  This is
+-#    the old behavior, and it's still the default.
+-# 2. ips=500000, max_ips=700000, system_clock_sync enabled.
+-#    Bochs will not run faster than system time, and if it gets behind
+-#    it will run at a maximum of 40% faster than real time until it
+-#    catches up.
+-# 3. ips=500000, max_ips=500000, system_clock_sync disabled
+-#    If Bochs gets behind, it will stay behind forever
+-#    instead of running faster to catch up with the system clock.
