Basically, think of it as your computer's disk getting very fragmented and the storage has tons of small little empty holes, but not enough large ones. So when you ask it for something large the underlying operating system has to move stuff around (if possible) to make enough space to give you the memory. On full operating systems like windows, you having things like "virtual memory" where it can write out stuff to disk when not in use, and bring it back later. This is not usually ever done for systems with small memory/slow speed however as it just isn't really practical or sometimes even possible.

I was unaware that "thrash" was a technical term.

I have heard the term "fragmented disk".
Maybe replying with the above quote would have spared the silly, childish responses by others on the Forum.

Again, we are supposed to be adults.
