Stutter when transitioning between levels (question)

Hey Sam,
I noticed something awkard after installing Beta 014.
There's a relatively long stutter or freezing (about 0.5s) when transitioning between levels that happens AFTER you see "Loading". On some occasions, if you were moving when that happens you will continue to move forward even if "w" is not being pressed! On rare occasions it's followed by sound stutter similar to what you experience when you see "Node graph out of date. Rebuilding".
It doesn't happen on all level changes. For instance it happens at the end of "Forget about Freeman" when you pass the double doors and head into the room with the elevator platform with the truck that goes down into Lamba Core.
What's even weirder is that it happens only ONCE so if I load a saved game prior to that particular level transition or restart my PC and go through it again it doesn't happen again. The only way to make it happen is to reinstall Beta 014.
I first blamed Steam and went Offline Mode but it still happens.
It's like a sort of internal caching/prebuffering or something.
Sorry I can't provide better info...
That's the node graph being rebuilt. The installer deletes the graphs to ensure that there are no outdated graphs around to cause problems.
