Thanks.

ntpd can take a lot of memory if you collect the statistics for who is 
talking to you on a busy machine, for example a pool server. It depends on 
how busy and how long you want to keep the data.

Is there any way to turn that off?

I don't see any mention in the documentation.  Where should that go?
