Description of problem:
The current SMP-kernel speeds up the system clock when data is transferred
via LAN. This is the case as much for incoming as for ougoing data. Using
the ordinary non-SMP-kernel makes this behaviour disappear. The
acceleration factor is about 4 for up-/downloading entire blocks of data
via FTP, and goes up to about 30 (!) when for instance the command 'ls -R
/' is executed on the remote computer, and the output is displayed on the
local host. This behaviour is independent of X and occurs already in a
simple text console at runlevel 3. Furthermore, it does not depend on the
type of connection (TELNET vs SSH).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.4.7-2

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot system into SMP mode
2. Login in to a remote computer via TELNET/SSH
3. Type 'ls -R /'



Actual Results:  The system clock runs forward in time like crazy!

Expected Results:  System clock keeps running at regular speed

Additional info:

The current system is an INTEL PR440FX based Dual Pentium Pro workstation
with 512 MB of system memory and an integrated INTEL EtherExpress Pro 100B
10/100 MBit/s network adapter.
