Sir: I am not sure that you are correctly diagnosing the problem. Probably, it is simply taking a long time to render each frame. If you have a high frame rate and motion /change from frame to frame that is small, then animation will appear smooth. If a lot is changing between frames, then animation will appear jerky.
My suggestions: 1) check your frame rate - you want to see 30+ frames/sec; 40-50 would be better 2) "objects are updating every 50 ms"? how much are they changing? This is 20 updates/second which is slow enough that it will appear jerky if scene objects are moving more than a pixel or two each update.
