Hello Fletcher,
I am the server operator who had the affinities set, but even after
removing them I am still suffering insane lag spikes at times so that
cannot be the problem. I am very pleased to hear that you may have found
a solution and I can't wait to try it out. I am able to send in more
traces if that will help.
Thanks!

I do have a theory about the cause of the CPU spikes. I'll release a
build with the next mandatory update (which will probably be this
afternoon) that I think could address the problem. But since we are
not reproducing the problem here, this is just a theory, not
disciplined engineering.
In order to conduct disciplined engineering, we need data from those
who are able to reproduce it. Judging by the amount of discussion
this problem has generated and the relatively small amount of effort
that is required in order to get the data to us, I'm really surprised
we haven't received more traces.
I have given out vtrace keys to every person who has asked for one.
So far we have received traces from exactly two (2) server operators.
One server operator had processor affinities set, the other was
running a high number of instances per core, such that the average CPU
utilization was high and there was no headroom for more than one
process to spike.
