Your OS doesn't load into memory (and stay resident) - 'specially Window$ - too big, lots of memory. Parts of the OS may run in memory but many parts are swapped in and out from disk. Increasing the disk speed and making the read / write times near instant instead of the relatively slow seeking of the disk heads...
