I haven't worked with timelord much, but I presume it only queries
a single time server, whereas NTP is designed to gather time
information from multiple servers. NTP also figures out the
trip time from each of the servers it's using and has a hierarchy
of the "quality" of the time from each server.
That's a pretty lame summary, but my point is that I believe NTP
is a much more complex method of time synchronization.

But I still agree with this :)
