What does this have to do with AutoIt?

Yes. Page faults, when detected, fire an interrupt from the hardware which causes your OS to go into it's "page fault repair" interrupt handler. That takes a few clock ticks to repair, so your system is busy with repairing the page fault and will stall other tasks for a short moment.

If you're in doubt, read on interrupts a bit. That explains more about them and interrupts in general.
