ntp tries to use SIGIO for UDP packets - but it is not implemented just until
2.1.126. Does the signal mechanism lead to a quicker response or, at least, to
a more deterministic behavior compared to the select () system call? ntp
relies on reading a timestamp directly after packet arrives, so using SIGIO
could eventually increase accuracy.
