More often than not, on a warm boot I see something like this

msg.new:[    1.940031] Using local APIC timer interrupts.
msg.new:[    1.944031] APIC timer calibration result 466046
msg.new:[    1.944031] Detected 0.466 MHz APIC timer.
msg.new:[    1.944031] APIC frequency too slow, disabling apic timer

On cold boots it may see 12.5MHz, or may not...

[    2.000584] Using local APIC timer interrupts.
[    2.004067] APIC timer calibration result 12500236
[    2.004080] Detected 12.500 MHz APIC timer.

I haven't figured out yet what the pattern is behind the behavior. Has anyone 
else seen this kind of problem before?
