Can you imagine how dull your life must be if your job is to study, to the millisecond, changes in the spin of asteroids?

4 msec/year change? That means your observation next year would be off by what? An inch? A tenth of an inch?

I bet if a 3.4 mile diameter asteroid hit Washington D.C., the impact would be heard in Denver...Chandeliers rocking in Las Vegas.

If the rotation is speeding up does that imply that its circumference is shrinking?

The only thing to worry about is any changes in the predicted/observed trajectories through our solar system...

3200 Phaethon is the progenitor of the Geminid Meteor shower.
Probably closer to a comet than an asteroid, Phaethon may simply be outgassing, which would cause a change in rotational speed.
