I have exactly the problem you described, but I changed my newer Samsung HM320JI 320GB against the old 60 GB Hitachi (?) means the HD it was shipped with. No effect. The wheel is still occuring. Seems like its connected to the fact, that I am running two or three apps at the same time. Like Safari and preview. BUT I know the normal behaviour of my MB after 3 years. Apple doesn't find any problem and Apple care is know finished.
I tried several "fresh" system installations. No effect. Fixed the disk permission with Installation DVD, run the hardware tests, the apple care util and went to apple several times. No effect.
The old HD even has 10.4.11 running.The new Samsung HD runs the latest MacOSX (10.5.8) on my MacBook Intel Core Duo with 2GHz (vers. 1.1) and 2 GB Ram.
I am going to change the newer RAM against the old one and the HDs again monday.
Repair history: Logic board was changed by apple in June 2009. Inverter was changed in May 2009. Matashita optical drive was changed in 2007. Samsung HM320JI 320GB has been running since January 2009. RAM was changed August 2008.

Any ideas?
