I just dealt with a very similar problem.  What it appeared to be for me is
dropped frames (as observed through Network Monitor on w2k).  Once I
reduced the LARGE number of dropped frames I was observing, everything was
back to normal.  You may want to monitor some of your network statistics at
the times where groupX begins to see if you see a dramatic increase in the
number of lost and/or dropped frames.
