Ntpd slow start
on every boot, ntpd takes long time to start (after moving from dhcp to static ip). is there a way to speed it up?

I am going to guess that what you mean is that the startup script for ntpd takes a while during bootup. Some ntp startup script first invoke ntpdate to quickly set the clock to a very close correct time and then start ntpd. It may be that ntpdate to still trying to contact an ntp peer that is not accessible with the new IP address. With redhat, there is a separate config file for ntpdate called /etc/ntp/step-tickers. Don't know about Debian. Check for something like that.
