David,
It appears that you may misunderstand my observation? Raspberry-Pi servers
seem to be economical and functional as NTP servers, but how well do they work
in the network configuration that I am using. Yes, there are things that I can
do to have a more accurate server; but how well does NTP work in default usage?

Ed,
I did try the Raspberry Pi, LAN-connected, using purely Internet
servers, and the results are plotted here:
http://www.satsignal.eu/ntp/Raspberry-Pi-NTP.html#results
Offsets were reported in the +/- 5 millisecond range. This on my Cable
Modem connection which is rather asymmetric with 60 Mb/s downstream and
3 Mb/s upstream (I appreciate that the delays may not reflect the
allowed bandwidths). There was no attempt to limit the poll to less
than the 1024 second maximum. It's likely that the version in use was
ntp 4.2.7p314.
I did not detect any failure to keep up with clock drift, but the RPi
was not subject to large temperature extremes, just room central heating
which was switched off between about 22:00 and 06:00 UTC.
I hope that serves as one extra data point.
