Your system's timekeeping appears to be busted. Are you running ntpd with "tinker step 0.0" or some home-grown mechanism which might be forcibly stepping the clock rather than skewing it, by any chance? Anyway, the output of: sysctl -a kern.timecounter ...is likely to be informative. Try switching to another clock type, especially ACPI-safe if it hasn't been chosen by default. Your CPU is probably too old to have a power-state invariant TSC, but if you disable SpeedStep, powerd and similar which might change the processor frequency, TSC might work OK also.
