Because you're confusing disk priorities with CPU priorities, and you can't 
easily interrupt a disk seek. That's kind of what I've been saying. In the 
length of time it takes the Task Manager to get to the next page-in, Blender 
has already run far enough to trigger a page fault on its own.

But you might not know. And you might not be able to easily tell. And you 
might be running multiple tasks on the same machine, or even multiple 
operating systems nowadays.

No. Fix it in Linux. :-)  Linux does exactly the same thing.
