It's my experience that it makes totally no difference in stuttering. Thereby I have to say that my stutters are mostly mild.
I agree with TUSA/TX-Gunslinger that it has probably something to do with the code of the game. On the moments that you see a short heavy drop in FPS you see a simultaneous (more or less) drop in CPU utilization. Normally CPU utilization should increase when a game has lots to process.

This is interesting. Games that have a lot of stutter often come accompanied by cries to install it to an SSD (which winds me up a bit, frankly lol).
Any graphs or screens that show this effect in action? Obviously you can't show us the stutters, but a CPU monitor shot showing these dropouts could go a long way in helping the devs (or us!) solve the stutter problem?
