This matches my experience. I have never seen any explanation for
this beyond "you have crap hardware" which I reject because I see it
on every platform I run Xen, from home servers based on "gamer"
motherboards, through supermicro cheap rackmounts, to HP and Dell
servers.
Running ntp everywhere is the only way I can keep the clocks
synched.
