on my old X60s, the Rescheduling Interrupts were caused the by cpu 
itself. i learned that i owned an to old intel cpu which has no stable tsc.


on my new X220 it looks like this:

 > cat /sys/devices/system/clocksource/clocksource0/available_clocksource
tsc hpet acpi_pm


 > cat /sys/devices/system/clocksource/clocksource0/current_clocksource
tsc
