I can't offer much in the way of fixing the stuttering I'm afraid, but I 
can tell you not to try upgrading the kernel to an SNMP version. ..

SNMP is Simple Network Management Protocol , I suspect you're thinking 
of SMP (Symmetric MultiProcessing ). To take advantage of an SMP kernel 
you'd need two CPU's (or possibly one of the 'new' dual core CPU's , tho 
I don't know if SMP would see the as seperate ).

Please don't think I'm being 'funny' , just trying to save you the aggro 
of installing a new kernel and possibly spending  a long time 
recompiling / reinstalling if you don't need to..
