I've tried this on two Dual P2 machines I own (with different motherboards and CPUs) and could not reproduce it. One was running 2.2.5 and the other 2.2.6, sleep 10 took exactly 10 seconds (timed by an wall clock), however I have a time synchronization daemon installed and running.
It sounds like you may have some clock drift problems. Install ntpd from http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~ntp/ and try it again. It should correct any timer drift you have on your machine. Also ensure that you have RTC support in your kernel compiled in.
