Eric added --disable-kernel-pll last week.

    commit c6b45a2d332ab98f278691fbb462e6b65a528649

	Implement --disable-kernel-pll configuration option.


I posted the results to this email list.  I have attached one of the 
graphs from that thread that shows the bad results.  The option was
applied at 28-18:45.  After that time the time offset and jitter
got way worse.  The time to recover from LF changes also got much
worse.

Check out the list archives for the entire discussion.
