IIRC, this was an issue of discussion not to long 
ago.  A lot of folks were complaining about the # of 
QSOs in their log where their logged time differed 
from the other station's QSO by 5 minutes or more.

This analysis might catch some of the "rubber 
clockers."

On the other hand, I've heard that one or more contest 
logging software packages is notorious for clock drift 
and may result in getting viable/true QSOs tossed.
