Public bug reported:

1)
Description:    Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
Release:        14.04

2)
ntp:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 1:4.2.6.p5+dfsg-3ubuntu2
  Version table:
     1:4.2.6.p5+dfsg-3ubuntu2 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/main amd64 Packages

3) normal time evolution
4) accelerating/decelerating time

My clock time accelerates and decelerates.  Everything is normal in the
bios, however in Trusty I get this strange behavior.  I launched a
remote session and recorded the following from time.is in a chrome
browser session to show the problem:

Note the speedup of the clock (esp at the 20 sec mark) and the major
drift

If I uninstall ntp, I don't experience these problems.    I was changing
ntp servers before I purged ntp, but I don't see why this would happen
with any server.  I also was having problems with my computer starting
(ram timing issues?) but it works fine now, and I wasn't having this
problem in the bios, only in ubuntu.  ACPI also was disabled in the
bios.  And the only kernel option I'm passing is "text".   Sorry I can't
give any other information, but if you have any questions, I can try my
best to answer them.
