 ok, iburst would improve startup.
 
 Sorry, I forgot that the debug output just send to stdout. I always trip 
 over that.
 
 For systems without RTC it should help to enable ntpdate at startup for
 
 the initial time setting. On systems with RTC starting with the
 
 options "-N -g" is usually advisible.
