After playing the game for a while or restarting it repeatedly during one Windows boot session, your 12 GB of memory works as a "cache" for the operating system, serving the files more often/recently used and requested again from this "transparent" memory cache, rather than from a disk. This would explain why the game feels smooth in situations where you have "pre-warmed" the Windows memory cache.
If the game files are accessed after reboot, they are not yet cached, and disk latency issues are visible. Is there a chance that you have a highly fragmented disk that would cause slow file loads? Or some other non-fatal yet still undesirable problem with the disk sub-system on your computer?
This goes well beyond standard technical support we would normally provide, but we are always trying to dig deep into reported issues to see what we may be doing wrong and if we can improve the game. Anyway we are inclined to think that it's a disk (could be HW, could be firmware issue, could be over-zealous antivirus checking files on access), rather than the game itself.
