Since last patch I get the same thing. Game hangs for a fraction of a second and audio will stutter every couple of minutes. Zero performance problems prior to this for me.

Thanks for all the feedback. Whenever you leave a performance related comment, please post your system specs so that we can evaluate those better.
Yeah, I can confirm this, it started happening before this last update went in and only happens in multiplayer. It definitely smells like a punkbuster issue.There are some big stuttering problems: as someone said: 20-30 fps drops and some 1-2 second freezes every minute or so.
This happened before today's small patch and after 8 nov patch. It's either Punkbuster or Windows updates from this week, or something else.

Though it may be PB related. The freezes were happening before we turned screenshots on. And, too, I doubt that every PB server admin has gone in and turned auto-screenshots on. They are off by default. My guess is that PB is now running additional cvar checks or some other checks now. As I posted in another thread, often the default pb server config settings are a little overzealous. They may require a little tweaking from the server admins.Hmmm I thought that server problem only, but I can confirm that. My team played esl match yesterday around 21:00 CET and most of players noticed that problem (small lagspikes/freezes) so before patch was released. No idea if PB has been updated..
AH! Now I found it. PB screenshot function is working now and that could be the reason of these freezes.
