I've reinstalled the host system (T8100 intel cpu) with ubuntu 9.10 server 64 bit, so moving from i686 to x86_64. The guest having the issue still reports the error but feels less sluggish. This guest is the original a 32bit ubuntu 9.10 installation, but running in an x86_64 virtual machine.
I also have a second guest installed now, this one is 9.10 -server / 64bit, so far (2 days uptime) this guest hasn't logged the hrtimer issue, but it's load is 0.00, going to 'bonnie it up' for a few days and see what happens.
