Game has the latest patch.

This only happens in windowed mode, it happens both when first loading the game and when loading a saved game afterwards (after dying included). I've reinstalled the game twice (before I noticed it only happened when not in full screen mode).

As a saved game loads the loading moving snake will stop spinning, the window title will say "not responding" and although the sound will play fine the game will stay like that for around 15 seconds before actually starting to load my saved game.

I've confirmed that there is close to none CPU, GPU and disc activity while this happens, i.e. it's not that it's loading too slow from disk or anything. Like I said, if I play in fullscreen mode none of this happens.
Try removing all your saves except for a couple and see if they load quickly or not?

Removed them all but the latest. Still hangs for around 40 seconds on the initial load and only in window mode.
What happens with Aero/Compositing turned off?
Also, what is your native resolution vs. resolution you are trying to run in the Windowed mode?
