True. The other solution is to have enough memory.

If the Windows box had say, 16 GB of memory, it shouldn't thrash and this
shouldn't be a problem, right?
I never use save files, so I am not sure how this would work.

Yes, stop doing that.
You are at the limit of computer memory known as "thrashing." The only way to reduce thrashing is to reduce memory usage. Close all other applications and if possible, only process a part of the data at a time instead of all of it.
