I did some testing with ntpd 4.2.0a and Ubuntu 6.10 (kernel 2.6.17.11) on my Pentium-M laptop (with 'ondemand' processor scaling enabled), and everything seemed to work well, even when I preiodically stopped and started the cpuburn utility to force the processor to scale speeds. ntpd did not panic and exit, and jitter was fairly low. So it would appear we have at least two data points that indicate frequency scaling is no longer an issue for ntpd, at least with more recent Linux kernels. I suspect, as Harlan suggested, that it was an OS issue with older kernels using the time stamp counter instead of the PM timer in the kernel time APIs. Do you think I should update the wiki with this information, or should I wait for further tests on other hardware platforms and Linux distros (we're planning on RHEL for the new servers)?
