Ok,
Here is the log as requested. I put a print of the gsdx config and I'm using only two options in the velocity hacks: +1 in EE cycle and +2 in skipping EE cycle.
Also note that I already tested it altering the main config and nothing improved. I'm guessing that it is some graphics plugin issue or my notebook... but I don't know much, so let's see what the community says.
Edit 1: I just tested Final Fantasy XII with the same config and it ran smoothly. So, probably an issue with Xenosaga, then?
Edit2: Today I had more time to test it, and I check how my CPU, GPU and Memory are behaving when the cutscene is lagging. It was all below 50%, so one more point for the problem being with the emulator and not with my computer, I guess. Nevertheless... I just can't see where the problem could be.
