Description:
==========
The error message "Slow clock tick xx, delayed messaging and timeouts may occur" was added in EMS 5.1.4 for defect #1-A35PT9 -The server can disconnect clients or other servers if it gets very busy such that it does not service incoming heartbeats within the server_timeout_client_connection or server_timeout_server_connection period.

The number xx indicates the delay when the timer thread is behind the current time, indicating that the EMS server has become busy. The value of xx is the time difference in seconds. This is an Informational message and is not detrimental to EMS, rather it is an indication that the EMS server is busy and delayed messaging and timeouts may occur.
