We are a medium sized university and are definately in the 10->100 range 
and see no problems.  All our edge stacks (25 of time) plus in theory 
all the servers talk to our 6500's to sync and on there we see:
----
6509-1#show processes cpu | include NTP
 556      291788   5634668         51  0.00%  0.00%  0.00%   0 NTP
----

I do cheat though and we anycast the NTP address (place the same address 
on our two core boxes) so the clients speak to the nearest server.

Cheers
