Upon further testing, it seems like the likely cause for this is 2.6.21+ having BETTER power management support - and, thus, entering the lower C-states. I did test disabling tickless operation, and it made the issue worse. I decided to close this because the issue also exists in Mac OS X and the lack of a problem in 2.6.18 seems like an aberration.
