If your hardware doesn't have a clock (or the clock is bad) then it can
take ntpd a long time to adjust it back to the correct time (it uses
adjtime(), which I think adjusts at +/- 10%). You can avoid this long
convergence by telling ntpd to step to the correct time on startup
(although this won't step after startup, so it requires that your NTP
servers be reachable at boot time).
$ grep ntp /etc/rc.conf.local
ntpd_flags="-s"

Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
