Frequency scaling or anything alike? Have you tried using acpi pm timer?
This should prevent you from losing ticks.

Yeah, I found the acpi pm timer (a new option) and the problem went away.
I haven't got any frequency scaling included, so it's simply ACPI calls which
makes the system lose to many ticks :-(
