Thanks for the response.

The output you requested:

kern.eventtimer.choice: HPET1 (440) HPET2 (440) HPET3 (440) HPET4 (440)
HPET5 (440) HPET6 (440) LAPIC (400) i8254 (100) RTC (0)

kern.eventtimer.choice: HPET  (did not specify 1, 2, etc.)

I also changed the type of timer to LAPIC and rebooted; there was no
appreciable change in the interrupt activity.


I'm open to any other suggestions, as the system is virtually unusable
in this state.
