Little performance hitches in wine

So I have started seeing hitches in performance now when playing WoW with wine.  I've done this successfully for years with arch (with of course a few hiccups along the way with wine and WoW).  However, I took a few months off, and now trying to come back something has changed and performance isn't too good.

If I watch top, when that hitch happens, the process is listed as 'T' (traced or stopped) during that period.  The WoW.exe process gets no CPU for that second or so. 

I do have  kernel26-2.6.24.1 installed and I'm pretty much fully upgraded.

Does anyone know what might be causing this?  Could it be a difference in the kernel scheduler?  I backed up to an older wine but unfortunately I cleared my cache in early January so I can't go back to the version I was using before then, only back as far as 0.9.50 (0.9.53 is what I currently have).

Anyone else see this problem?
