Then what it would seem it hangs can in fact be a horribly slow
operation?

What it draws attention to me is that, as I said in another mail, this
happens at different moments. Can this be related to TSC bug mentioned
by Joerg? The 'Clocksource tsc unstable' in dmesg is due to this bug? 

In 'test' host I've the following thing:

test:~# cat /sys/devices/system/clocksource/clocksource0/current_clocksource
kvm-clock

test:~# cat /sys/devices/system/clocksource/clocksource0/available_clocksource
kvm-clock hpet acpi_pm


Thanks for your reply.

Regards,
Daniel
