The minimum sleep time between ntpd upstream requests is 64 seconds. With 64000 clients an ntpd server must answer one thousand requests per second.
If the client ntpd clocks are very stable they will ratchet back to one request every 1024 seconds (about 17 minutes) so the same 6400 clients would only make the server process 62.5 requests per second.
