[CentOS] kernel: Your time source seems to be instable or some driver is hogging interupts

The following error on a SMP x86_64 Centos 4.3 kernel 2.6.9-34 ELsmp
appears at boot. and causes things to compute faster. Example, a
wait(5) should wait for 5 seconds....it waits for 3 or 2.

This was an open bug for that kernel. Has it been patched in the more
recent kernel for Centos 2.6.9-34.0.1 ?

dmseg output:

Freeing unused kernel memory: 164k freed
Losing some ticks... checking if CPU frequency changed.
EXT3-fs: INFO: recovery required on readonly filesystem.
EXT3-fs: write access will be enabled during recovery.
warning: many lost ticks.
Your time source seems to be instable or some driver is hogging interupts
rip __do_softirq+0x41/0xa2
kjournald starting.  Commit interval 5 seconds

should I insert noapic at grub.conf? What will I loose if i do noapic?

This is  a performance oriented, intensive voice over ip server.
