I should have mentioned that, in addition to ripple, the power
supply's transient response can be an issue. A slow transient response
can cause voltage dips and spikes when the current draw rapidly
changes.
Again, like ripple, this is something that you would need an
oscilloscope (or some other high bandwidth voltage min/max detector)
to see. A standard voltmeter wouldn't show it.
