Can you please re-open this issue?

I got the same problem. Also the clock seems to be off by a few minutes per
hour. Problem was worse (more time offset, timing related keyboard issues too)
with "nv" driver (open source) for X11, went better with "nvidia" driver (closed
source). Error message from /var/log/messages:

Oct 17 19:24:39 tanja kernel: [ 1392.338993] warning: many lost ticks.
Oct 17 19:24:39 tanja kernel: [ 1392.338994] Your time source seems to be
instable or some driver is hogging interupts
