Well, it's not just the 10000; I've got a thousand differential on my
box (and that's with HZ=100).  Of course, a 10,000 differential with
one of them not even having reached 10,000 yet is pretty big.  But
look at the rate: 129?  HZ=65?  I doubt it...  that sounds like
something REALLY weird going on.
