There are some programs and drivers which stop everything to do their housekeeping at regular intervals. Network software is especially known for causing a brief pause at 1-second intervals.

For some unknown reason, having a program print text on the screen sometimes causes everything to smooth out. So when you press the "s" key and the Aquarium prints the statistics in the upper left corner of the screen, all the text drivers are loaded and the internal configurations and priorities are changed (maybe).
