If you can - maybe you can run a system monitoring utility like System Doctor from Norton. Activate sensors to monitor CPU, Physical Memory and Virtual memory.
If you have a look at the graphs when that 'stall' happens - you should be able to determine if it is indeed garbage collection (i.e. if Phys Memory rises after the event)
