thanks for the response

So far as I can tell I have not had ntp on my system, I have not put
it on myself the only way it could have been on is if it were a
default during original install of Gentoo in which case --depclean
ought not to have removed it as it should "belong" to something [world
, system ]

I may give up on chrony and put a ntp on and see if that cures it,
though I prefer not to just mask a problem if there is one, could a
clock slowdown be something as serious as an indication of hardware
problems?
