well
guess what
if a program running hits a page fault and needs to swap in memory from your HD, the program will lag some. your HD is extremely slow compared to registers/cache/main memory.

i'm not saying you don't have a malicious program or some other random problem. i'm just saying that HD access and lag can go hand in hand.
