I think there are two cases: popular public servers like NIST and everybody 
else.

I agree that the load on most servers is not a problem.  The load on the NIST 
servers is huge.  I don't know if the limit is network or CPU.  When the 
government screwup gets fixed, I'll see if I can get some data.

If you think we should retain the lockclock code, then we should pay attention 
to performance.

I think a small server-only mode could be a good fit for both cases.
