Thanks, Garry -- I think I found the culprit.  It was an always-present 
icon for Real Player in the system tray -- something called the Start 
Center.  Or at least once I stopped it, the loss of time stopped, so I 
suspect it was stealing clock cycles.  In the last 12 hours my clock gained 
only 3.5 seconds, which feels more like normal!

Thanks to everyone who suggested solutions, and particularly to those whose 
diagnostic suggestions led me to determine that it wasn't the clock battery.
