-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Maybe you should take a look at the server and see what is running at the time of the lag spike. There must be something, otherwise the server would (should) be just fine. The FPS should maintain a constant level even when under load. You *might* be able to reduce it by reducing the max FPS, as I've never noticed a difference after 250-300. It could be the kernel. If you're sure it's been set to 1000hz make sure there's nothing limiting the process. Also, you could try turning HT off via the bios and see if that helps, what might be happening is that the process tries to switch over to the virtual processor to load balance and it doesn't work like it should. I would personally turn HT off and give it a shot. If it still has the problem just turn it back on.
Speaking of this, the only "lag" I've faced was with a dual core server on an older kernel, but since you have a decently recent one I'm not sure if a kernel upgrade would help you or not. You might want to look at the changes in-between to see what's fixed and see if it relates to timing or HT. As I said, try turning HT off first and see what happens.
