I've an answer from Abracon. I had overlooked these plots:
http://www.abracon.com/Precisiontiming/AOCJY%20Typ%20Phase%20Noise%20Plots.pdf
The answer is that we can expect for the 40MHz unit a phase noise
performance half way between the 10MHz and 100MHz units performance.
That is, compared with the 10MHz unit, roughly a 20dB increase at 10Hz,
a more or less 12dB increase at 100Hz, 6dB at 1000Hz, and around 3dB
from that point.
Regards,
Javier
