I track my servers ntpstats all the time :
http://www.blastwave.org/ntpstats/index.html
The only time I see fly away strange data is after a reboot. There
seems to be an automatic loss on Sparc machines of about 16 seconds or
so. Late yesterday I had a bit of a network burb and that caused some
bumps in the data that you see there.
My advice is to leave ntp alone once you set it up. It works. Don't fix it.
