If the local NTP implementation on the machine has a marginally competent
PLL, updating more than once per minute will just increase the noise.
If the local NTP implementation is really SNTP which steps the clock,
then you should find a better one, if what you need is good timekeeping.

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
