It's well documented. Adjustments are made at the rate of 500ppm. By
default that will happen for corrections of up to 128ms.
500ppm is about 43 seconds/day, and a correction of 128ms will take
about 256 seconds' time to apply.
Otherwise the clock will be "stepped", so the correction is immediately
applied.
One can change some of these behaviors. I believe that of the people
who change these behaviors, very few of them properly understand all of
the consequences of what they are doing.
