Similar thing was happening on the dual Xeon 2.8 GHz machines in "O" as well. But it was 2-5 sec long in time.

Cook Paul, I've seen this problem too, on AMD dual-processor machines with powersaving enabled. I could not find a version of the NVIDIA driver that did not show the problem. I believe that the switch in CPU frequency disturbs the synchronization. So you might want to experiment with e.g. "service cpuspeed stop" (as root) and see what happens. If it does help, you can switch powersaving off permanently ("chkconfig cpuspeed off"). Unfortunately powersaving depends on proper interaction of kernel, hardware and usermode software. Intel CPUs are quite different from AMD ones in that respect.
