Hmmm.. I have the same issue, and this upgrade to 2.6.13-r4 did not appear to fix the problem. My clock still gains many seconds per minute. Of course, if I rebuild the same kernel without SMP it works like a charm. An additional problem is in my XP vmware... with SMP, the "keeyyyboooaaarrrd" is crazy, and any media files (.wmv, .ram, etc) run at x4 speed. Most annoying.
