The official descriptions are essentially identical, and the iburst seems a tad nicer to my eye. But we know that reading between the lines is not useful with NTP doc. :-( Your suggestions?

I love how the iburst and burst are designed to wait for a modem to connect. :-) I still often see the first ping is a lot slower than later ones.
