On an ethernet it looks quite different:

Network is a destkop - switch1 - switch2 - ntp box.
The switches are two Level1 Gbit smart switches.
The desktop is a ~4y old Xeon 2GHz system with a Gbit interface
The ntp box is a AMD Geode LX 500MHz system with a 100MBit interface
Both running linux.
There aren't noticable more jitter for moderate (1-2 MByte/s) traffic.
(Probably visible if i would do a statistical analysis...but..)
