KCT causing VAB stutters at regular intervals

I just did a clean reinstall of KSP.  I am an RSS-RP0-RO player and I have version 1.6.1 of KSP installed.  I EXACTLY followed the instructions listed at THIS LINK to install RP0 into 1.6.1.  

In the past I have had issues with Kerbal Construction Time causing a regular stutter (approx. every 500ms) when in the VAB.  The only remedy I have found is to use older versions of KCT(specifically 1.4.5.6).  I was informed on the RP0 Discord that it is not acceptable to use previous versions due to incorrect formulas/balancing issues.  

After reinstalling clean and following the instructions listed at the link, I am now getting the regular stutters again.  Here is a link to a screenshot of my performance graph.  Obviously the stutters correspond to the spikes on the graph.  This continues indefinitely anytime I am in the VAB or the SPH.

I believe this to be a conflict with some other mod because after step 17 in the installation instructions (i.e. before installing any other mods) the stutter is not present.  It only occurs after I install my desired recommended mods.  

SPECS:

i5 4590, 16gb RAM, Windows 10, GTX970, SSD

Why I asked this issue to be posted on the forums is that I remember seeing reports about the stutter on the KCT thread. People on the RO discord have occasionally also reported those stuttering issues on version newer than 1.4.5.6. My SepIntegration branch has until recently been based on the 1.4.5.6 version and I can't remember any similar reports about it. This is why I think that changes made after that version are the most likely candidates for the stutter.

This issue is also present in KSP 1.7.3.

The stutters are originating from log spam about overriding the launch button.  I disabled this option in the KCT settings but the stutters persist.  Only the log spam disappears.

If I install KCT without RP1, the stutters do not occur.

I don't play RP1 normally, so don't jump on me for this question:
Can some kind soul please post a link to the instructions on how to install RP1, with the minimum mods only.  I'll create an install and test, see if I can find something.

That stutter leads me to believe there is some garbage collection happening. Given that RO has specific requirements, it doesn't surprise me that something would show up in RO without in normal. 

Have any of you tried using HeapPadder? or possibly using this: https://www.autohotkey.com/boards/viewtopic.php?t=65963   ?
