i just read what i think is my solution

its possibly caused by the fact that every time i display a new object it is not in the video ram. i have to display it all to the video card as a kind of pre-caching.
this makes sense based on what i'm seeing. i know stuttering seems to happen when a showentity happens.
i will try and report back in case anyone else is interested.
