If you have a laptop and a battery status applet running (or something thats reading /proc) try removing it and monitoring. I have a similar problem, but it comes and goes after being totally stable for many months. From another email I read, it might be the choice of timing source introduced in a recent kernel (gentoo-dev-sources) that may have a bearing on it.
Its sometimes so bad that ntpd cant track the jitter! This morning I wrote /etc/adjtimeex and the ntpd drift file to zero before restarting ntpd and its stayed stable so far.
