I switched to ACPI now (instead of APM), but the hiccups remained.

They start after either the system is running for a while (now 6 hours)
or music playback of some time (now about 2 hours altogether) and get
worse.

Shortly after a reboot everything seems ok.

When I run "vmstat -w 1" they get worse, but I cannot relate them
to any events..
