According to your system description it seems that you have a
Targa Visionary laptop with a VIA chipset and a Mobile Athlon64.
If so, then you probably have the same problem I reported some time
ago: see <http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=117681226421346&w=2>
and the followup messages. The conclusion was that the chipset's
ACPI PM timer slows down when the CPU is in C2.
The workaround is to boot with processor.max_cstate=1.
I was seeing the same problem on a Ferrari 3200 (with ubuntu kernels)
but more recent kernels (2.6.21.3-ck2-swsusp2) don't ever seem to
enter C2 at all - according to powertop (1.5) its always in C0. (And
yes, this solved the clock problem at the cost of power use.)
I can provide any additional details that might help, and I'm in a
decent position to test things right now.
