From: Mingming Cao <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> While "every 5 seconds" doesn't sound as a problem, there can be many of these (and these timers do add up over all the kernel). The "5 second" wakeup isn't really timing sensitive; in addition even with rounding it'll still happen every 5 seconds (with the exception of the very first time, which is likely to be rounded up to somewhere closer to 6 seconds)
