I am using Hoary i386 with the Nvidia GL drivers on a Geforce 6800 NU and I get studdering in 3D apps after my computer has been on for a few days. If I restart X, the problem remains but if I reboot it goes away. This happens even in GL screensavers and GLXGears. It is not a peformance thing, I get wonderful framerates. Just these less than one second pauses. vsync, AA, and AF are all disabled. I have killed numerous cron jobs and slimmed down my init.d services.
Below is a copy of my xorg.conf, I thought it might have been renderaccel so I changed it to backstoring and then I tried it with niether. No luck!
