Just to follow up: I did a simple test (which I wish I'd though of
earlier) by just running Notepad under Windows and holding down a key
for a long time. No stuttering was observed.

IOW, the problem doesn't appear to be related to USB events or buffer
overruns. It most likely comes down to the disk I/O issue after all and
the stuttering is caused by the lag in fetching new graphical content.
