OK, so what does the following mean:

   0:     287954   IO-APIC-edge      timer
   1:         10   IO-APIC-edge      i8042
   8:          2   IO-APIC-edge      rtc0
   9:       3568   IO-APIC-fasteoi   acpi
  12:        122   IO-APIC-edge      i8042
  14:      12851   IO-APIC-edge      ide0
  15:      48253   IO-APIC-edge      ide1
  16:          1   IO-APIC-fasteoi   uhci_hcd:usb1, yenta
  17:      25387   IO-APIC-fasteoi   Intel 82801DB-ICH4, Intel
                                     82801DB-ICH4 Modem
  18:          0   IO-APIC-fasteoi   uhci_hcd:usb3
  19:      21569   IO-APIC-fasteoi   uhci_hcd:usb2
  20:          2   IO-APIC-fasteoi   ohci1394
  21:       1957   IO-APIC-fasteoi   eth1
  22:       6207   IO-APIC-fasteoi   ath
  23:     192291   IO-APIC-fasteoi   ehci_hcd:usb4

If I have a soft synth running, big updates to the screen display will 
make it start and stop. But I'm not running an RT kernel here.
