Fedora 8 stuttering once in awhile

[LostSon]

Hello
I have been trying to figure this out for awhile now but every once in awhile the desktop will freeze, just briefly maybe for 2seconds or so. This happens no matter what DE i am in. Doesn't seem to matter what i am doing it just seems random. I have left top running in a terminal trying to find some kind of program spiking and locking things briefly with no luck.

I was wondering if anyone has seen or noticed this with their F8 install as well ?

i have had this with fedora 8 and 9 and as well as Ubuntu .
are you using an acer laptop by chance?

I have learned to live with it. The same laptop uses XP pro. no problems.
I think it is something with the kernel.

If you find something out, let me know.
