I can load 71 images (5472x3648) just fine and Gimp's memore indicator 
is at 4.6GB.

What is you tile cache size set to (see Edit>Preferences>Environment)? 
This is the max RAM Gimp will use, and beyond this it performs its own 
swapping to disk, which reduces performance dramatically. If your I/O 
rate increases around the 60th image, you may have an explanation. In 
your case with a HDD it could be especially bad  since the image loader 
would be reading some part of the disk while the  tiles would be written 
to the swap file somewhere else on the disk.
