I can confirm that the random lag spikes are greatly reduced after I moved the game from my WD Caviar Green 2TB to an 8GB RAM disk. Loading times are also greatly improved with fast disc reading on (obviously)
I am using 8GBx4 G.SKILL Trident X 2400MHz RAM for reference. I highly recommend to move it to a RAM disk if you have enough RAM, or even an SSD.
Also can also confirm the random freezing. It happened thankfully about 5 minutes after I had saved, so nothing really was lost. I played the game for a good 6 hour stretch and bam. Only happened once though.
