TSC has not ever really been SMP safe, but I suppose Microsoft hacked
a way to do it :)
I wish sleep(1) would actually sleep for 1, not to 1.95

I presume the issue at hand is some sort TSC synchronization issue which
affects calls such as QueryPerformanceCounter / KeQueryPerformanceCounter.
In addition if it is, there is a hotfix ( KB896256) for this available from MS
which should fix this so it may not be something that Valve need to fix.
This is all supersision as I dont know the exact details of the original issue
which was fixed by adding the thread affinity call but dont know unless
you ask :)
