Most often we will see that 'pause' when the VPS is swapping. Since in that case running pretty much any command could cause your server to 'go to disk'. The solution is to make sure you are not swapping. And to try to choose a host that does not overload the server with too many customers (for the hardware) and who also monitor the server to ensure that one or two 'greedy' servers are not monopolizing resources. We find that most of our VPS customers can get very good performance when setup with Xen and with a suitable amount of memory for their site. When its needed we can also help customers tune their servers and install apps and get things setup. i.e. take the hassle out of sysadmining the server (which can require a bit of skill/experience/time to pick up).
