Is there a large difference between the correct time and your system
time?

chrony (and other NTP clients, as far as I know) never changes the
time all at once, because that would hurt cron and other time
sensitive things.  Instead, it uses the adjtime system call to make
the system clock run just a little bit faster (or slower as the case
may be) until it's right.
