I also experienced the exact symptoms of the bug, combined with a bunch of other problems (sound crackling, system freezes).
This workaround fixed it all together for me (ubuntu 10.04, 2.6.32-36-generic): http://jannepikkarainen.fi/clocksourcejiffies-ja-ubuntu-910-hidastumiset-pois
Quote: --- in /etc/default/grub change line
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
to be
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash clocksource=jiffies"
Then enter sudo update-grub and reboot. See if your problems are gone. ---
Unfortunately that triggered another bug: hd-audio0 eats up 20% of my cpu, but that's another story.
