Well it depends. If ACPI disables interrupts or it keeps some spin lock then
there is a high probability that some interrupts are lost.

If I do (with no load nor i/o stress):

# time cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state
present: yes
capacity state: ok
charging state: unknown
present rate: unknown
remaining capacity: 4000 mAh
present voltage: 14800 mV

real 0m1.118s
user 0m0.001s
sys 0m0.007s


However for me it looks odd that sound is not corrupted (and I believe
that dma buffer does not hold 1 sec of sound data) while serio and soft modem
is.
