Ah, I got that wrong from your mail.

That should be normal:
cpu0: timer                    961443545       1999
irq256: em0                       660532          1
cpu1: timer                    961433589       1999

$ sysctl kern.clockrate
kern.clockrate: { hz = 1000, tick = 1000, profhz = 2000, stathz = 133 }

Not much has gone in 6-STABLE since 6.4 release. I would sync binaries in one 
jail that is offensive at the moment and restart it. See if the problem goes 
away for that jail.
Resolver libraries and openssl have had an update for security patches, but 
that doesn't explain the kernel having a hard time.

Problem with today's modular software: they start with the modules
    and never get to the software part.
