Good analysis!

Your 256k server sees much lighter traffic than my 100Mbit server,
but then that's the point :-/  Only 1/100 though, rather than 1/400.
That does mean your overheads (ntpq etc) are higher.

For comparison, my current sysstats:

time since restart:     5021496
time since reset:       5021496
packets received:       107066412
packets processed:      163303
current version:        29921651
previous version:       76172980
bad version:            63
access denied:          810
bad length or format:   63921
bad authentication:     13489
rate exceeded:          19488834

(29921651+76172980-163303)/5021496 ~= 21qps

However that's 0.21qps/Mbit, whereas you have 1.08
