I think we have a winner:
/proc/interrupts
------------------------------------------------
CPU0
0: 17321824 XT-PIC timer
1: 4 XT-PIC keyboard
2: 0 XT-PIC cascade
5: 46490271 XT-PIC soundblaster
9: 400232 XT-PIC usb-ohci, eth0, eth1
11: 939150 XT-PIC aic7xxx, aic7xxx
14: 13 XT-PIC ide0
Approximately 4 times more often than the timer interrupt.
That's not nice...

SoundBlaster 16
A change of hardware should help verify this.
Cheers,
