Then I say we have a problem....

My mac is losing ~0.13 of a second per 20 mins, then I'd say I have fairly 
serious issue.  And if everybody else has....

It would be interesting to note on what machines these are, and the extent 
of it.  FWIW, mines a B&W G3 that doesn't do much.  The load is usually
