As a participant in pool.ntp.org, I have seen a fairly constant load on my servers. Somewhere in the neighborhood of 10 packets a second, about the same now as it was two years ago when I got started. And just as it was two years ago, about half the traffic is from "nicely" behaved clients and the other half is from bozos that hit me every second. The total number of clients has increased, but the fraction which are bozos has dropped off. I could easily handle ten or twenty times as much NTP traffic as I do right now and I have a rather narrow network pipe (384kbit SDSL.) I would need hundreds or thousands or tens of thousands as much NTP traffic for CPU utilization to be an issue.
