Why should I have to use iburst option in server command to speed up ?
when is the "iburst" option necessary ?

Yes. None of those access control options will prevent time service.
All of these options are documented at
http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/html/accopt.html#cmd
If you will be running ntpd as a daemon you should append 'iburst' to
each of your server lines. This will speed up your initial sync from
~5 minutes to ~20 seconds. Please remember that 'iburst' has no effect
'ntpd -gq'.
