Me, I would have thought that since we chose to brand ourselves "NTPsec", security is the relevant dimension of performance, and not having more holes than a shotgunned colander would be sufficient to get past Classic. We can actually point to one other dimension of better performance right now. We step at a theoretical 10e3 higher accuracy - less than that in practice but only because nothing shy of a cesium-fountain clock can slice time that fine. Given these, I'm really curious why you choose high-load performance as a hill to die on. -- <a href="http://www.catb.org/~esr/">Eric S. Raymond</a>
