 Nothing helps. I've tried periodic=1 and replace hardware and time with HPT
 (from TSC-Low and LAPIC), but system still "sticky" with single-job build
 and unresposnive with multiple-job build, and still there is strange bursts
 of CPU consumption from threads and processes which should be low-profile.

 I'll try to disable C2/C3 and turn off Turbo as next step...
