Your expectation is flawed. From http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/html/monopt.html#filegen loopstats Record clock discipline loop statistics. Each system clock update appends one line to the loopstats file set: 50935 75440.031 0.000006019 13.778 0.000351733 0.013380 6 In this context, system clock update does not refer to once-per-second loopfilter trimming of the system clock rate. Rather, it's once per change to the offset= reported by ntpq -crv. Thanks to the 8-deep clock filter, that can be as infrequent as every 8 polls.
