I had a look at the scripts, and the bugs, and the manpages, and all this stuff really seems quite complicated to me. In the end, if I would do that instead of running ntpd with an adjusted kernel tick parameter like I do now, I would have to do a lot before I would even understand all this stuff, and then maybe I would get a situation that works as well as the current one. But it's still both a hack, because I don't think users shouldn have to mess with this stuff, so in the meantime, I'm happy to keep running ntpd.
