Ty to cheater00 for the tip about the macbook. I'm using my work's macbook pro retina 10.1, running Linux Mint 14 (ubuntu 12.10 based). For me the problematic interrupt was 16 as well (gpe16). In being thorough, I found that gpe17 had twice the amount of interrupts that 16 did (though 16 was the one hogging the CPU). I've disabled them both and my wireless seems to be working better now, but who knows how long that will last. The wireless being slow or cutting out was the main reason that I've been researching possible causes. I'm using the broadcom-wl-5.100.138 b43 wireless drivers downloaded directly. Who knows it might not actually fix my wireless permentantly, but at least killing these interrupts did fix the CPU.
