Client machines freeze momentarily but regularly - Ubuntu 14.10 x64 host machine, Linux and Windows clients

Hi.  I've been using Workstation for a great many years so I would say I have my expectations set reasonably.

My main desktop machine:

-  Intel i7 (4950 I think) processor, 16G memory, Samsung 850 Pro SSD, Ubuntu 14.10 x64 operating system, VMWare Workstation 11.1

 

It runs really well, but my client machines, be they Windows 7 Enterprise or Ubuntu 14.04 LTS frequently "stutter" in use.  When the stuttering is going on, the host machine is showing relatively high CPU on vmware-vmx at 15 to 20 according to 'top'.  The stuttering might happen every minute or two, for maybe 5 to 10 seconds at a time.  It's annoying, but when I'm using CAD software in the client machine it's downright dangerous as short cut keys get missed, either partially or entirely, and generally bad things happen.

 

What can I monitor or try to stop this stuttering?

 

Thanks!
