Both Process Explorer and Task Manager run at the "real time" process priority (ie: it gets scheduled before almost everything else)

No, they do not run using the Realtime priority class. By default they both run at High priority.
so it usually takes a few milliseconds to come up even in a heavy load environment, not several minutes.

CPU load, yes. I/O load, no. If a runaway process eats up all your disk bandwidth, it can take minutes for the OS to read in the text pages from an executable, be it even the smallish taskmgr.exe.
