I have seen the problem as well.
It is not just processes using the IDE. Everything will pause for a second or two. (Which causes grief with streaming audio running at the same time.)
Even more annoying is that it does not always occur. I have not tried tracking down where the kernel is getting hung up at that moment since it has been fairly intermittent for me.
