My clock time accelerates and decelerates. Everything is normal in the bios, however in Trusty I get this strange behavior. I launched a remote session and recorded the following from time.is in a chrome browser session to show the problem:

Note the speedup of the clock (esp at the 20 sec mark) and the major drift
If I uninstall ntp, I don't experience these problems. I was changing ntp servers before I purged ntp, but I don't see why this would happen with any server. I also was having problems with my computer starting (ram timing issues?) but it works fine now, and I wasn't having this problem in the bios, only in ubuntu. ACPI also was disabled in the bios. And the only kernel option I'm passing is "text". Sorry I can't give any other information, but if you have any questions, I can try my best to answer them.
So after messing with the computer, it seems that the problem was there with ntp. So I'm not certain it's related to ntp. Sorry about that. But I searched google high and low, and I couldn't find a single person that was having this problem. I suspect it might be something to do with MB/Ram/timing, I have no idea.
