An unscheduled ntpdate is fair... mass ntpdate at 12am or at every :00:00 isn't.
I'm seeing a large spike at 9am, which attribute to people switching on their machines (http://www.nodomain.org/ntp/index.php?rrd_id=0&display=image&view=0)
I have really odd spikes, usually at :00 and :30: http://blackhole.arlott.org/ntp/ntp-M-86400.png http://81.174.179.33/~byte/ntp/ntp-M-86400.png
(btw. ignore the scale it's wrong by about 100*... haven't worked out how to use rrdtool properly yet).I can only imagine what this looks like on the more popular servers...
