After adding second CPU to my server, I get the following strange
behavior:

earth:/home/czajnik# ping -s 10000 213.25.174.24
PING 213.25.174.24 (213.25.174.24): 10000 data bytes

10008 bytes from 213.25.174.24: icmp_seq=13 ttl=255 time=1410.6 ms

Every ping comes back in below one second, it seems to be a problem with
time measurement. It started to happen after adding second CPU.
We use 2.2.19 + Openwall patch + new AIC7xxx drivers + latest ReiserFS

What can It be ? How can I do any tests ?
