Use the IrDA menu to avoid slow menubar clock update
Authored by: asher on Aug 22, '03 05:23:21PM

I'm guessing you have "Use a Network Time Server" checked in the Time/Date preferences. It sounds like you use dial up to connect as you mention the modem won't connect during this period of wake up after sleep. Maybe it takes the clock program a little while to figure out there is no network connection. I further guess that the IR feature upon wakeup sets some flag indicating no network connection yet, that the clock sees this and doesn't wait for a network timeout. Just a guess. I don't have IrDA activated on my powerbook and don't not see a slow clock on wakeup. I have several network choices and Location set on automatic. Perhaps that's the difference.

I don't think this is the case. I've seen this strange behavior on my Pismo whether on dialup or 100BaseT ethernet! It also happens with "use network time server" enabled and disabled. I think it's just a strange waking-up-from-sleep problem. Incidentally, it happens with FuzzyClock as well as the standard menubar clock.
