lulu, if it's any help, my Stratum 2 pool.ntp.org server is a Linux system running on an Athlon XP 2400+ processor. It suffers no noticable load under normal conditions, which is about 1500 clients, but even when the server shows up in the NTP pool DNS, pushing client levels very high (I've seen it as high as 9731 clients), the load was minimal, all according to Wayne Schlitt's scripts. Network traffic is really not that much either, ~5 or 6 KB/sec under very high client levels if I remember correctly.
