And if we all would just start closing port 123 udp on the firewall on
xx:59:57 and open it again on 00:00:03?
(Should be easy by a small cron job running in minute 59, sleep 55s setting
the firewall rule, sleep 5s, remove the firewall rule. On a lightly loaded
system where cron jobs and such small commands are not delayed by swapping
etc.)
cheers

The only application I've seen in which the complete removal of vast
sections of code makes it run better, and when I eventually found a
section of code with a comment, the comment was in Spanish.
