NTP adjusts frequency, not time.  It doesn't predict what the internal 
clock would show if it hadn't been adjusted

I'm not sure what is being measured to produce the 9ms figure.  It seems 
suspiciously
low for a good estimate of the error bounds for a such a high stratum 
client.

If you are polling the server every 8 seconds you have overridden the 
default settings in a way that is not recommended, is likely to cause 
sub-optimal time keeping, and is likely to get you blacklisted by many 
servers.
