Do not do this unless you own the server. It is considered abusive.
Also note that a low maxpoll will tend to result in the clock drifting
faster when there is a network outage, as ntpd will not be able to get
as accurate measurement of the crystal frequency error.

By default, tinker step is set to 128ms. Most people actually want to
increase it, rather than reduce it.
