Just a shot in the dark here, but did you try using the "cpufreq-set" tool (in
Debian-based distributions: in package "cpufrequtils) to set the CPU governor?
(As root), do:
# cpufreq-set -g performance
On an older machine, I had Xrun issues sometimes, and this tool helped overcome
it at that time. However, I have never seen the CPU load spikes you mention.
Greetings,
Frank
