David,

I think the problems you are seeing might be fixed in the
latest kernel as there was a small fall over still from the
timer changes. This was affecting the operational priority
values of programs because of time slice priories were
a little mixed up. Can you try and update to the latest kernel
build and see if that fixes the problem your seeing...
