I've had smp crashes and mouse/kbd weirdness both with and
without xntpd and in my experience xntpd hasn't really had
much of an influence on either.
Then again, I'm only syncing to an external clock (remote
hosts over dialup) for 1 hour each week. The rest of the
time it uses the drift value to compensate the internal
clock...
