It could be a bug in the BIOS. I recently dealt with some AMD64 X2 boxes (from Alienware) that had a really big issue similar to this because of the way the BIOS was configuring (or not properly configuring) the APIC. If we ran an SMP kernel on those boxes under those conditions, the delay loop was seriously miscalibrated and we would see the clock stall & jump. It also made it extremely difficult to type as the briefest of touches to a key would cause anywhere from 2-20 keypresses to register, even after we had turned the keyboard repeat rates all the way down.
