Comment (by brian_j_murrell):

 Just to further update...

 It seems pretty good at the moment. I got rid of one application that was
 spiking the CPU for short periods and it seems much better. The
 application was "preload". I have been on the fence for a while about
 whether that application was worth it's cost.

 I can't even seem to force stuttering now with something fairly heavy on
 both disk i/o and CPU such as:

 {{{
 find /usr -type f | xargs md5sum
 }}}

 I'd hate to think this is just working because I am currently still in the
 "sweet spot".  Do you have any pet/particular torture tests you use to
 test for the sort of problem I am seeing here, even with the HDA
 controller?  My find/md5sum does not seem torturous enough.
