I don't know either.  I'm sitting next to someone else's Linux machine 
here at the client location.  A 'vmstat 1' shows 1000 interrupts/sec. 
'cat /proc/interrupts' shows no rtc interrupts but millions of timer 
interrupts.  My Linux system shows the same.

What does your 'cat /proc/interrupts' show?  What does it show after 
removing the Digium modules?

Don't do that--it's not the problem.
