If it was a kernel bug I'd have seen it here, as would the many others
who've run that kernel for thousands of hours.  I suspect something in the
application is loading down the kernel and causing it to lose ticks.  1000
ticks is pretty fast for a Geode.  Do these machines have HPET clocks?
HPET is broken by design.
