It seems the same with my TOSHIBA POTEGE 3110CT because of lack of
processor power management implementation I think.  My short term
solution is acpiconf -d to make CPU running in normal speed.

Ah, you probably need to have a `device pmtimer' in your kernel config
and `hint.pmtimer.0.at="isa"' in your devce.hints.  If you don't like
to reinitialize system time (e.g. prefer running ntpdate), you don't
need to have pmtimer.
