   I went to UDel, so I know a bit about this. :-)  NTP will
typically do the clock drift adjustment thing if your OS has support
for it, but if the clock is far enough off, it will still jump it
forwards or backwards. Also, if memory or real-time behaviour is
an issue, you may want to take into account that NTP runs at a high
priority with most of its memory locked in RAM. In most applications,
though, this shouldn't be a major impact. I run xntpd/ntpd on the
bulk of my systems.
