I got many more when I was downloading the mozilla src though. I've looked up the problem in the mailing list and have tried a few things recommended to fix the problem. sysctl -w kern.timecounter.method=1 doesn't work. debug.acpi.disable="timer" in loader.conf doesn't work. removing the apm device from my kernal seems to works, but my time runs fast. this is my dmesg.
