Tiger's clock is slow when I tell AfterBurner to "Adjust Ticks".  If I do NOT
choose that setting, Tiger's clock seems OK.  This is the exact OPPOSITE result
as I expected from that setting.

Well, I guess that explains that.

Now, with "Adjust Ticks" turned OFF, I get a TigerMark index of 1.25 with my
Prism at 54 MHz, which is kind of disappointing.

What were the circumstances under which you saw or heard about an index of 1.5?
