Have you tried running hwlat_detector? You (hopefully) can find it in your
kernel sources and notes on how to use it at Documentation/hwlat_detector.txt.
In short, you could be seeing long latencies spikes created by SMIs. That kernel
module, hwlat_detector, may help you identifying them.

The hint about setting the priority of the IRQ threads is also a good one.
You should also look at the logs of the USB/firewire/whatever you are using
to commounicate with your keyboard... you may be suffering buffer underruns
due to file size or something similar to it.
