As I think I've mentioned before, I really think the effect of this is overestimated -- or maybe it varies from connection to connection. Below then ntp1.bur.sol is in my office (with a gigabit connection out), 10.0.201.3 is at my house over OpenVPN on a slow but completely idle DSL connection. Note it's on a GPS clock, so the DSL connection isn't "balanced out" by going back and forth.

The second to last is a "random" NTP Pool server.
