Puzzling clock offset spikes

What's in your ntp.conf?
You might try increasing any maxpolls if they are less than 6. It's likely to
make the normal case worse, but if the spikes get better that might tell
you/us something.
Do you have full logging?
logfile /var/log/xxx
logconfig =syncall +clockall +peerall +sysall
There might be something interesting in there.
You might try putting all the log files into a memory file system. Maybe the
disk writes are disabling interrupts long enough to cause troubles. Or try a
USB hard drive.
If you run out of other ideas, try without gpsd. Use the NMEA and PPS drivers.

The temperature of the GPS isn't important. Time comes from the crystal that
drives the CPU. I think it's on the bottom of the board.
