Heavy load on disk controllers while they seek would add to the overall CPU
load.  I wouldn't say this is likely to be the exclusive cause of the
symptoms you are seeing - just a pitfall that I would associate with WUBI
and it's performance in relation to a full install on it's own
partition/disk compared to performance within a container on a non-native
formatted disk.  The use of a container adds another potential cause of
problems...
