I think that's what Ubuntu does. >Don't tell the ntp folks, they'll have a screaming fit :) I was under the impression that they made it. The ubuntu package suggests that in any case (it refers to support.ntp.org). >I expect this is Ubuntu's answer to the weight of ntpd.

(In fact, there isn't a single "the cause", it's little bits all >over the place that add up.) Of course ntpd isn't the cause: if it were post-10.6 would be faster! I do wonder if the inexplicable delays I sometimes see in app start-up, or apps being sig-stopped by something aren't due to discontinuities in the system clock. (Yes, I have app nap disabled globally and I'm also seeing this in apps that do not support sudden termination).
