Polling interval is different than update interval.

 From a FAQ at ntp.org: "Recent versions of ntpd (like 4.1.0) seem to 
update the correction values less frequently, possibly causing problems. 
Even if the reference time sources are polled more frequently, the local 
system clock is adjusted less often."

There may also be an issue with how much adjustment NTP applies, rather 
than how often.
