I deploy a lot of servers.  Some have good clocks, some not.  Last year
I saw two servers ntpd could not converge on at all, after weeks.   That
is when I converted to chronyd.  YMMV.

And if you server goes though busy periods that will also delay getting 
a god sync.

Is that PPS over USB or PPS over RS-232?  That is within what I see
for PPS over USB, but I have seen better.  If that is PPS over RS-232 then
something is wrong.
