Harlan, As you know, I have no faith whatsoever in what ntpdc claims are performance statistics. I've been trying to deprecate that program for years, as it uses ancient and outdated state variables. I do stand by the ntpq statistics, which have been carefully updated over the years. Maybe somebody changed the display from dispersion to jitter, but this would be at best misleading.
I do see the op command using ntpq is misleading. The heading says dispersion but the value actually displayed is jitter. The op command should be deprecated, as it was added long ago with mistaken zeal. There might be more abuse in those commands; the only ones I watch carefully are the rv, as and pe commands.
