EDIT!!!!!! ARGHHHHHH, I've just discovered Custom Skins download is ON post installing the last Beta Patch, please ignore the above until I've tried it again!

I'm pretty shure that those stutters appear due to slow processor speed.
I experienced it only once with 3 110s and few spits over I12 target,
but I think that was due netcode-server problem that was shown by Bliss
with some graphs from server.
I was in similar situations many times and never experienced that before and after.
CloD is very CPU dependent game like old il2 in which I could see big difference between CPU on 3.5 GHZ and 3.0 GHz especially when there is lot of pilots on the server and lot of flak and objects.
This is good test but lacks CloD or Arma II because games they tested are not CPU dependent that much.

Also they could OC AMD processors to show the scaling with CPU speed increase.
Phoenix in my opinion your Q9550 is still strong if you try to push it close to 4.0 GHz as much as you can.If you have branded PSU, midrange mobo, and some aftermarket cooler ( nothing fancy, CM Hyper 212 will do) it isn't so hard to do.

For AMD users, most of the newer CPUs will easily go on 4.0 GHz with some more voltage on Vcore from 1.39-1.42 V because CPUs are different.
Also it is important to OC the northbridge frequency to 2600 MHz with slight
bump on the NB voltage.

I will help anyone who encounter some problems, I had C2duo, played with phenoms, I'm on 2500K now.
