    	    <description><![CDATA[i've had them since some big update in june/may/whatever every now and then. They got way worse since the 'performance update' though. ~1-3 second freezes and about 5-10 times/game. frequency seems to change with the server (might be placebo though). Really fun when you're baiting someone and 4 seconds later you're suddenly "respawning in x"]]></description>

a lot of that 'hitching'.  it seems to occur for a few days to a week after every semi-significant update.

my uneducated guess is that it's your client losing connection to steam server and forcing a retry.  this is purely because i can clearly remember similar hitches in the past (over a year ago) were accompanied by spamming messages to steam friends saying you are "offline online offline online offline online".

more recently, the hitching was accompanied by losing your loadout.


the hitch frequency may also be related to your ISP/connection quality.  over a year ago i was having terrible issues at around 7-8CET on some evenings with mass choke and packet loss....  i was forced to reduce my rates to 10000/30/30 for the game to be playable (and still had bad choke).  non-steam games worked fine, it wasn't merely my poor BT broadband connection.

i found out that this insane lag was happening exactly in sync with steam server maintenance...  so it must have been a combination of steam and my crappy connection.  but i haven't had this issue for over a year now, new router, ISP upgrades, steam server upgrades etc is my guess.]]></description>
