Maciej,

with the patch you sent (with MIS counter code) :

           CPU0 CPU1
  0: 50644222 50826974 IO-APIC-edge timer
  1: 239631 233690 IO-APIC-edge keyboard
  2: 0 0 XT-PIC cascade
  3: 344151 345715 IO-APIC-edge serial
  4: 4 4 IO-APIC-edge serial
  5: 331569 327717 IO-APIC-edge soundblaster
  8: 268433 271449 IO-APIC-edge rtc
 14: 919801 913328 IO-APIC-edge ide0
 15: 22625 21407 IO-APIC-edge ide1
 18: 149973 150537 IO-APIC-level BusLogic BT-930
 19: 5557525 5554806 IO-APIC-level eth0
NMI: 101420638 101425054
LOC: 101475956 101475952
ERR: 90
MIS: 34865

and 11:09am up 11 days, 17:52, 8 users, load average: 1.44, 1.15,
     0.77 uptime.

it seems like it is time to get at least the suggestions so far in the
mainstream kernel or at least in Alan's tree. (it's not clear if it has
been already included)

There are a few things that might be related though -- some slow network
performance but I am not sure if that is caused by the patch. I don't
think so but..; I also didn't hammer the whole day on sound to crash it.
typically, a flood ping, sound & backup --> crash within minutes and I
wanted to see how it performs (e.g. no crash) under normal loads. that
part succeeded.

if you like, I can start banging the machine on it's head now.
