I am seeing something similar with the recent > 2.6.23.8-63 kernel. 2.6.23.1-49.fc8 here. I'm currently yum-update'ing and will check when done. The interesting fact is that I don't encounter the periodical hang within XFCE or KDE, only from GNOME. For the sake of the archives: a passive way to feel it is to watch at a cpu monitor graph for one minute w/o doing anything else: you'll see short activity peaks very 15sec. Another way is to constantly make use of the window manager, like moving windows, changing workspace, rolling/unrolling menus and you'll feel something not natural ;-).
