Drift from serial activity, VIA system, LInux

I'm setting up a small system to monitor things like line voltage
and temperature.
It uses a serial connection to a UPS box to get the line voltage.
The quirk is that the drift changes when I run the monitoring
program. It changes more if I poll faster. It changed by
20 ppm when I was polling with a 10 ms delay and it's more
than 80 ppm and still climbing when I reduced the delay to 1 ms.
I let it run for a few days in the 20 ppm mode. The drift was stable,
just like it was before I turned on the monitoring code. I can see
it track the daily temperature changes.
The system is a VIA C7 CPU with a VT3314 chipset running
a 2.6.25 kernel. The kernel sources are stock but the
configuration options are my own.
Has anybody seen anything like this? Any suggestions on where
I should look for more info and/or to track this down?
