- Lose ntpd running in jails and run it only on the host. Running in the =
jail is totally unnecessary.

- Is this a bare metal server or VM? Lots of clock issues with VM=E2=80=99=
s=E2=80=A6

- Stagger your periodic jobs on the host and the jail so they don=E2=80=99=
t all run at the same time
  slamming the host.
