The GNU libc simply calls the gettimeofday syscall, so it doesn't come
from here, but must probably from the kernel. Given you are using a
2.6.26-1-486 kernel from Lenny, I guess you also upgraded the kernel in
your upgrade.

You are using a -486 kernel on an i686 machine. The -486 kernel doesn't
use the high resolution timers, which may explain your problem. What
was your previous kernel?
