I have the same issue and it is definitely SlimServer CPU usage. In my case it was down to playing music on iTunes at the same time. I had an iTunes plugin running that gets album art for songs and it was updating iTunes on every song. That was causing SlimServer to constantly trigger library scans. There is a monitoring facily in the utilities directory of applications on the Mac called Activity Monitor. I used it to track down that the buffer going to zero and stuttering was down to Perl running all the time - and SlimServer is the only Perl app running, so that led to my conclusion that it is constantly doing rescans. I have disabled every possible triggering of automatic library rescans - hopefully that will improve things.
