Hm, the only place where it might interfere is on the ARM side. :-(
- Unless you press a key on the remote transmitter, there is no data
  transfer from the ARM to the driver. 
- The remote plugin does blocking reads, so there is virtually no cpu
  load caused by this plugin.

Maybe the infred receiver receives noise and keeps the ARM busy(?)
Do the messages stop when you remove the IR receiver or cover the 
receiver with tape?
