Whilst this is correct and, yes, FreeBSD can do better, it may be 
misleading because with care Windows does much better than 17ms for 
running NTP.  Here is data I've gathered from my own GPS-synced Windows 
PCs:

PC Feenix - offset typically better than 250 microseconds:

PC Stamsund - offset typically much better than 250 microseconds:

PC Bacchus - offset typically better than 250 microseconds, except when 
the CPU suddenly changes from 0% to 100% CPU usage for an hour, and causes 
a considerable temperature rise:
