Do you have any blinking LEDs or LED triggers defined on the system ?

All I can think of is something calling led_set_brightness quite often,
the patch in question makes led_set_brightness somewhat more expensive,
but it should not cause such a big difference unless something is
really calling led_set_brightness quite often maybe something is calling
it with the same value all the time ?

Hans
