Leaving the PIT interrupt running can cause noticeable steal time for virtual guests. The VMM generally has a timer which toggles the IRQ input to the PIC and I/O APIC, which takes CPU time away from the guest. Even on real hardware, running the counter may use power needlessly (albeit not much). Make sure it's turned off if it isn't going to be used.
