Yep, the system clock is slowing down (to close to half its normal
rate).  Hardware: Asus A7N8X motherboard (nforce2 chipset, Athlon XP
CPU), IDE CD-ROM (actually DVD-RW) drive on SiI 680 IDE controller.

This board could well have interrupt ... issues; with local APIC support
built into the kernel it hangs every few hours under kernel 2.4 and
won't even boot with 2.6.
