[Bug 229632] Re: ntpd should run niced

[nutznboltz]

Try with and with out ntpd "-N" option.

Use "ntpq -p" or "ntpdc -c peers" to view the polling interval. Both
reports have a "poll" column which is the sleep time in seconds between
requests being sent out over the network to the upstream NTP source.

The "poll" column will eventually change from 64 to 128 then 256 through
1024.  This change can take hours or even days to occur as the clock
stabilizes.

Without "-N" I haven't seen the polling interval get to 1024 on my
systems as process preemption destabilizes ntpd too much.
