Yes, same day.  Uncorrelated to anything I can identify
or each other.  Same story on all the boxes.  Running
a hefty multi-system compile with heavy NFS and Samba
traffic does not produce these events, though it disturbs
the Windows boxes slightly when CPU goes to 100%.

That's the dual-core AMD 2.4GHz Athlon Tyan mobo whitebox
runing Centos 4.5 SMP kernel.  Similar results on the
Dell Dimension 2400 2.4GHz Intel P4 running Centos 4.5
mono-processor kernel.

Windows is a dual-core 3.4GHz Pentium D Tyan mobo whitebox
running 2003 R2 SP2 standard server.

Might try them later, but I can't belive a high-quality
SMC switch is causing multi-millisecond delays.  Just not
possible.  Pings are all about 400 microseconds, consistent
but slightly different on each system.  Round trip is
800 microseconds.  Attaching the output from a bulk 'ntpq -p'
'ntptrace' script I have below.  Note that's 'ntptrace'
version 4.1 since the 4.2 script has useless offset info.

Higher.  Sometimes 1ms, sometimes 5-6ms.

>(Note the spikes are hundreds of usec, not many msec)

That would be the ~1ms example, check out the other one.
