--- Comment #5 from Tom B <tom at r.je> ---
I have narrowed this down slightly with more luck than judgement. I tried
running the game on my laptop and noticed that although the average framerate
was worse I didn't get the stutter. 

I did, however, get a warning from the game "Failed to initialize audio, do you
wish to continue without sound?". I never use my laptop for anything but work
so didn't even have wine installed. This was lucky as I didn't have any lib32
audio libraries installed either.

Thanks to the warning, I tried removing the Arch Linux packages lib32-libpulse
and lib32-alsa-lib.

Again, I got the same warning when starting the game, and no stutter when NPC
ships loaded! It is almost certainly an audio issue. I'll see if I can tweak
the audio settings for wine or the game to avoid the issue while still having
audio.

It explains why my earlier attempts made no difference, however. I must be
something to do with loading the NPC's related audio (I'd imagine the engine
noise).
