Firstly disable skin downloads which I am sure you have done already.
Secondly utilise the beta dlls, you will find them about two pages down, they really help the 8800's shine.
As for the stutter, if you play online you will get it everytime someone joins the server. So playing with a few friends on a small server you should see very little or no stutter.
Play on a big server with hundreds of players and you will get the micro-stutters I think you are reffering to.
Doing the above helps but unfortunatelly i have never found anyone who has completely got rid of them.
The reason I can state it is when a player joins is because we have test on our small server with a maximium of say 20 player, once they are all logged in their are no stutters.
It is only when someone joins for the first time that it stutters.
ADW is a classic case as you have it because players get a death kick and have to re-login after the 5 minute death kick has expired.
As far as I know it has nothing to do with plane models at all. Purely the server updating your computer about a new player joining the game.
Hope this has been of help.
