It is a stable system. It is not optimised to get the very best behaviour is all. Part of its stability is its long integration times ( and its throwing away 80% of the data in the clock filter to try to beat down transport noise.) Even if the frequencies change, it works well, just not as well as it could. (Or perhaps the chrony philosopy has some situations where it fails.
