[time-nuts] looking for low-power system for gps ntp timekeeping

[Gabs Ricalde]

I did a quick test using a modified Python script to measure the elapsed
time of several NTP round trips
http://code.activestate.com/recipes/117211-simple-very-sntp-client/
The script is run on the Atom machine, all of the servers are running
ntpd 4.2.6p5

1.6 GHz Atom, loopback: 8100 req/s
400 MHz MIPS, no FPU (TL-WR703N): 2500 req/s
720 MHz ARM (Beaglebone): 3800 req/s

The R-Pi and the B-Bone should handle hundreds - thousands of
behaving clients.
