The normal complaint is that ntpd is too slow at reacting to real
changes in the clock.

That doesn't sound right. Normally ntpd will not step less than 0.128
seconds.

Setting slewalways is incompatible with using the kernel time
discipline, which will result in ntpd making corrections every second in
which it slews at +/- 500ppm, rather than making finer adjustments every
clock tick. Even then, that is only 0.0005 seconds maximum correction
each second.
Something sounds very wrong about your system and/or you are
misinterpreting the diagnostics. You need to provide a lot more
information.
