I've often wondered whether such problems are because the CPU is running too
slowly, or because the system timer was accidentally reset, or because the
cache memory got disabled.

Have you tried running the "bogomips" userspace program to re-check your
system speed?  Also, try running 'date' a lot of times and see if seconds
are counting at the right rate.

I don't know of any quick cpu-speed-reset programs.  Maybe "apm --standby"
will kick things and make them better?

Good luck.
