I think the two effects (losing time, sound hiccups) are unrelated. I
believe that the processor speed changes affect the sound (although it
doesn't on my centrino duo), and an old/low charge BIOS battery is
causing the time discrepancies.

Of course, locating/replacing a BIOS battery may be a bit tricky on a
laptop.
