You shouldn't have. At the very least, you should have waited for 5.1
(which is only a week away now).

You have a broken ACPI timer (Asus motherboard with Aladdin chipset?).
The simplest solution is to disable the ACPI timer in loader.conf:
debug.acpi.disable="timer"
Alternatively, you can leave the ACPI timer in but use the
kern.timecounter.hardware sysctl to select the TSC or i8254 timer
instead (the TSC has less overhead but doesn't always work on SMP
systems)
