A friend had a problem similar to this, it turned out to be acpi (or
apm?) and his gnome battery applet. Every time the battery applet
polled for battery level, the system froze for 1-2 seconds.
So, you could try running a fail safe X session (no extras) and see if
it still happens. If so, try something from the command line (no X) and
see if it still happens...
