ntpd "freewheels" as orphan parent or using the LOCAL driver at the
last-known frequency adjustment persisted in the driftfile, which
given your configuration must have a default path even if one is not
given.  Assuming your system was synchronized to a NTP source at some
time in the past, that frequency correction likely brings your PC's
clock much closer to beating at 1 second per second.

ntpd logs the initial "drift" value, if found, at startup.
