How fast should chrony close the time gap?

I have a server which is using ntp to synchronise with the outside world with 
ntp.  

My clock on my workstation seemed to get badly wrong this morning after 
playing a dvd with xine.  It did not correct itself (I had been using 
ntpdate), so I installed chrony (which removed ntpdate). I manually changed 
the clock (using date -s) but of course it was not exactly correct.  In fact, 
by running date in two terminal windows, one via ssh to the server, one 
locally I can see that the difference is approximately (+- 1 second) 42 
seconds adrift.

Now, 6 hours later that time is still 42 seconds out.  

How long does it take chrony to start relying on the server time and start 
correcting the clock?
