I was having the same problem for a day or two.  I did two things and one of them stopped the freezes.

I downloaded ATI's 4.5 driver for my 9800 xt
then I downloaded DirectX 9.0b

Now I will point out that this worked for me but I see alot of people do not have ATI cards.

Same problem.  They are not consistent though - irregular 'intervals' of studdering.  The same plane is causing a studder regardless of hte skin being cached or not.

the stutters to me dont seam to always be terrain/plane/object cache related

Ive flown enough on firball isle that they should have stopped by now.

Im still getting them everynow and then . And yes they freeze the game up enough that the other plane is gone over 1k + of distance

Stutters/micro freezes here too......

ATI9800 pro 128

Happens when i get close.  Keep getting p51d skin arrivals too?!?!  Last one was number 5.

Noticed distance readout seem to jump in .5 increments on anything over 1k.

Micro freezes here as well.  On two seperate occassions while flying a B17 over the ocean I was attacked from the rear by a single plane.  D1.5 freeze, D1000 freeze, D400 freeze.  Makes gunnery difficult.  Was getting 85fps at time of attack but didn't watch for changes.

Settings:
1280x1024x32bit
AA x 4
AF x 2

Not getting any of this on my system anymore (did with first beta) - however I have been downloadings and playing beta's since the very first one so I supposed I have already cached everything.

For me the game is perfectly smooth.  Not a high end system by any means and no custom settings of any sort - not even custom gunsights.

1.333 Athlon Thuderbird (not OC'd anymore)
256 meg ram
geforce 2 64 meg video card running latest driver.
latest updates to otherstuff etc etc.
Win XP Pro  - patched up to date

P.S. (I also defrag weekly and sweep the system at least that often for anything odd (virus,spyware,etc,) that might be running in the background as part of normal housekeeping.)

P.P.S.  (ZoneAlarm Pro is running in background but no antivirus task running during game)

Ok here's what I did that helped.  I took off from the SE corner and flew to the NW.  Just got up at 15K and walked away for 1 1/2 hours.  Came back, relogged, smooth as silk!

Haven't tried it today, yet.  Work.  Sure seemed to help last night.  There was 43 pilots on when I started this.  I had been on long enough to download all skins.  Seems I needed this extra time to smooth it out.  I will up date this as I fly tonight.
