I've been tracking head and building a windows build using a
Gnuwin32/Mingw toolchain. Sometimes, on what appears to be disk access
(visiting/saving a file, eldoc lookups, etc,) Emacs will freeze for
roughly 1-3 seconds.
Its a little sporadic (in the sense it doesn't necessarily happen on
every diskaccess) but quite consistant and frequent.
What can I do to assist in tracking down what's causing this? Or
perhaps I am the only person seeing this and it is a local system issue?
I certainly don't see this behavior in a GNU/Linux environment.
Thank you!

Suggest to start by filing a bug report. In that report, tell as much
as you can about your system (assuming this happens on a single
system): hardware, OS version, network connections, anything unusual
about the disk(s) in question, etc.

When I experience what you describe it's because the disk being
written/read to/from is "cold" and is starting up again. When this
happens on Windows 7, it gives off a sound similar to "blooOOoOoop!!"
