I'm seeing this exact same problem on 11.10, with my ASUS g73jw laptop. The symptoms are that the touchpad freezes every few seconds for a couple of seconds. Additionally, even though every touch-to-click and scrolling option is disabled, touching the touchpad near the right of it causes windows to do erratic things - such as go into to move mode, or maximize. If the touchpad is disabled, all works perfectly.
I have "disable touchpad while typing" disabled per other people seeing a related issue, but it makes no difference and I suspect this is an orthogonal issue.
