This means that your newly opened application is now stored in the virtual memory on the hard disk. This is certainly a slower process since accessing the bits of information on the hard drive is a more time consuming mechanical process (the heads of the hard drive move towards the right platter, cylinder and the part of the disk surface where the bits are stored) than accessing the memory RAM chips.
