Are you, by any chance, using the XFree86-3DLabs server (version 3.3.3 or so ?). That server messed poked a value into a clock register (by mistake, it used "80" instead of "0x80" or so) and slowed the clock of the system down with a factor 5.5 too. But that bug has been fixed for quite some time now.
