Actually setting the thread affinity doesn't solve the problem for all situations.
We had some reports where these jerking problem came up a single CPU laptop.
Now I assume, the problem there was that again a faulty BIOS selected the CPU timer as the source for the performance counter, it just forget, that the power management functions of the Laptop might change the frequency of the CPU, and apparently it did. Setting the thread affinity can't solve these cases, only having a secondary timer source could in this case.
So due to these issues should we abandon using the Performance counter, or should the people who made the bugs in the BIOSes should fix it?
