This looks to be resolved somehow. It is still slow but much better than the 3.0.0-15 kernel. Current kernel 3.0.0-26-generic

The main sympton is that Oricutron got extremely slow and and pulseaudio claims almost 50% of the CPU running at 100%. Oricutron is using SDL (version 1.2 installed on my machine). I am almost convinced that this problem can be reproduced using every SDL based program. I tried xpilot (an SDL based game) with the previous (3.0.0-14) and the current kernel version and I think it was skipping frames when run under the current version.
