#14847: Curse of Monkey Island - Stutter when interacting with items

 I've noticed this issue for a few years and it's sometimes better and
 sometimes worse whenever I try a new update.

 It's usually when Guybrush interacts with an item in the world, especially
 if there's going to be an animation but it can also just be him commenting
 on the item.  The game will freeze (audio too) for a split second before
 the interaction happens.

 Conversations can have several small hitches either after choosing
 dialogue or when a character is about to say something.

 Often just walking between rooms can trigger a hitch but this is rarer.

 I have also noticed it happening in other games.  Usually ones that have a
 streaming soundtrack rather than midi.

 Interestingly the libretro port has the same issue but much much worse.
 Maybe that will give someone a clue as to what's going on.
