Sounds to me like you could benefit from doubling your physical ram count if at all possible.

Memory can be filled, other times what you want to accomplish might get in there before Windoze decides to stick something else in there and then you don't have the disk swap memory cache running the BIAB stuff.

That makes it seem like the problem comes and goes, what is really happening is a resource issue.

With XP, I have found empirically that 1gb of physical ram is a good happy point the way things are at present. The future will very likely demand even more ram, Vista already does.
