Unless I remember wrong, delay is merely how long it takes for packets 
to travel back and forth to the ntp server. So it has no relation to 
jitter or offset. It would rather be weird if delay suddenly started 
changing.

It's already at the max poll interval in all those reports.

ntp starts out with an interval of 64s, and backs off to 1024 eventuall, 
over time, if things are stable. In this case things aren't stable, but 
it seems to never have locked on to anything. So it's just been drifting 
the whole time, it looks to me.
