FWIW, my FreeBSD server instance is running in a VirtualBox VM on a Windows
7 platform. Before I had to consolidate some hardware, it was on its own
FreeBSD dedicated hardware. The Windows environment also runs its own NTP
server (Meinberg).
Oddly, from the standpoint of measured offsets, the best performer
according to the monitor is the VM instance; the worst is the Windows
implementation.
