Hi,

I have been searching the list for anyone else seeing this,
but i haven't found anything yet - Any ideas on how to debug?

From powertop:
Top causes for wakeups:
84.7% (1673.3) [extra timer interrupt]

Thats a little bit high in my opinion, for some reason it seems to be
ignored since the actual number of wakeups seems to be ~367 or so.

Ideas? Suggestions?
