Just a wild guess here.
I think that it may be related to some memory paging that may be happening while 
POV-Ray is running. Memory paging causes a great many "page faults" when a bit 
of instructions or data that need to be accessed have been pushed to the swap 
file, and thus, need to get fetched back into RAM.
