What's the typical time constant for a GPSDO? Is a single hard-wired number
appropriate or should the software adapt as conditions change?
What's the cycle time of a typical bang-bang air conditioner cooling a room
full of computers?
Here is one data point.

The graph about 1/3 of way down looks like about an hour.
It's a fun read if you like NTP.
