They seem to be trying to avoid memory fragmentation:

"DLL Unloads: Perhaps the single greatest jitter creator, DLLs (Dynamic
Link Libraries, part of all computer programs). DLLs lie
on memory as huge blocks that the purified music information must be
written around, causing obvious delays in reading
contiguous portions of the music on memory"

I love the "obvious delays".
