I tried 2.6.8.1 with voluntary-preempt-2.6.8.1-P9 and I am getting latency
messages, they trigger at around the same time I get "delta = 3" messages.

I guess that there is no way to have the latency reporting work with the zaphod
patch?

I hope those messages are giving a clue on what is going on on this box...

Are this kind of latencies normal (reminder this is an Athlon XP 1800+ ie
1.5MHz)?

Anyway, here are the full messages:
