Panthera -
The "one-second freeze" problem was noted in early versions. It was usually caused by network software or being on-line. The software would freeze all running programs for a few milliseconds at one-second intervals while it checked the network for new messages. On some systems, displaying text on the screen (press the "s" key) would fix this.
The codebase of the 2.0 version is totally different, and I have not heard whether this problem still exists. This upgrade is free, so why not just download it and try it out? You can always just delete it and use the old one if you wish.
