4.2.7p52, p53, and p54 each had initial convergence improvements from Dr. Mills. I encourage you to play with 4.2.7p54 or later and see for yourself. ntpd now eliminates the majority of the startup offset in 5 minutes (with a drift file) or 10 minutes (without). During the startup period, the frequency adjustment used to slew away the startup offset is not retained, so there should be little "ringing".
