Compiled with -O2 and fully stripped (w/documentation, helpers, etc -
standard Gentoo build), my tools report to me that ntp.org's size is
concordant with that of it's most recent source tarball - about 2.3M. 
If the same holds for OpenNTP, I'd expect it to be roughly 140k.

I have a system with a poor clock - I'll run some drift tests on it
with OpenNTP and see if anything concerns me; I start hyperventilating
at a few milliseconds' drift.  ;-)
