Well, I guess I should thank my ISP which indeed hosts many spammers. :-)

No, it doesn't. Even on dyntick kernels, interrupts do happen several

That's true however if your system has 2 clock devices. One is the r4k-hpt
and the other one soemthing else with a higher rating. If you don't stop
r4k-hpt interrupts, how does it work ?
The unwanted events just gets ignored by higher-level code, IIRC...
Classic PowerPC CPUs have the same problem (even worse, actually) -- one can't
disable the decrementer interrupt at all.
