Odd performance problem (hitching)

I updated to -current recently (from an earlier -current) and haven't changed 
any kernel options, but now the systems seems to 'hitch' fairly frequently. 
ie the system will run fine then stall for half a second or so, then continue 
as normal. It is most noticeable when playing music.

If I turn powerd off and run the CPU at full speed it works better, but it 
still happens on occasion so I am guessing powerd isn't the problem per se, 
but just makes it worse.

I am not 100% sure when the problem started but if I get time I will try a 
binary search to find out.. It believe around 6.0-BETA1 (30 July) was OK, but 
I don't have any more data points yet.

I've attached my dmesg and kernel config file if it helps.
