There may be something to this..
"Technically" irqtune shouldn't make that much of a difference for ppp
connections on serial lines, but it does.

I haven't been following the thread that closely but there might be some
strange interaction between kernel layers causing loss of ticks.

I'm not that well versed in serial stuff, but that's my .005 cents worth. :)
