Have a skim read of:

Aha! Very interesting info, I'll read through those threads, thanks! Indeed, they said the same to me and, in their defence, disabling the Wifi driver, LAN driver and ACPI battery driver has improved the monitored results a lot. So I'm guessing the problem is fixed for me as well. To be honest, I haven't heard a stutter since, but I haven't done any three-hour sets since then either. So I'm now working at tweaking the LatencyMon results even more, in the hope this will surely fix the problem.
