I run my Dell D820 without those options and it "seems" fine.  If you
give me a list of checks to run, I will be glad to do it.  The system
runs well, and suspend to RAM does work.  I will restart with the nohz
and highres options off to see what happens.

The only wrinkle I see now is that automount is gobbling up a lot of
CPU time.  Right now it is 12%, but a moment ago it said 33%:

 2078 root      20   0  6144 1156  912 S   12  0.1   0:52.74 automount

Will some udev magic replace autofs, so I don't need to run that just
to get USB memory sticks and CDRs mounted?

Well, perhaps this is related to kernel timing.  I just learned how to
use bluetooth to send files to my Nokia N800 tablet.  It takes about 3
minutes to send a 4 megabyte song.  Horrible slow, I think.
