[Performance]: there are spikes in time while building

[SimaTian]

Issue Description

While doing benchmarking for MSBuild, I've noticed a repeated spikes in time consumed.
This is annoying for several reasons:

• it is introducing noise to the benchmarking efforts (the spike is something like +50% time when it occurs)
• since it is occuring regularly on a cold build it is something that could be affecting pipelines and the spike is large if that is the case.
• it could be some error manifesting somewhere, but since it is random, it is hard to reproduce.

Steps to Reproduce

Run MSBuild cold build in a loop for a while.

Data

The times look like this:
95.2590266
53.3364027
93.6623841
53.8912314
51.5191799
49.8388009
49.926976
76.3744426

Or like this:
57.0661822
47.0323233
46.5913615
44.9238568
43.7712883
43.0863718
50.6900063
68.8321462
57.0158222
43.7932883
43.5368408
44.102942
43.3448263

I would chalk the first one to be the PC doing some weird stuff after a restart, but there is a secondary spike soon after and then one every five or so iterations(sometimes less, sometimes more, but the spike occurs semi regularly.)
Why is this happening?

Could you please add the exact steps to repro it:

• what msbuild instance (msbuild.exe or core)?
• MSBuild version;
• The built project;
• Environment characteristics.

Maybe it will be better measured in scope of PerfStar to understand if there is anything fishy with that. Not sure if it's actionable now.
