With Logic PC this is how the EXS24 behaves when virtual memory is not active
or there is insufficient buffering:  -- notes you haven't played yet are in the
OS swap file. Play them and they load into memory so that there are no problems
next time you hit that key.

I would try to ascertain whether virtual memory is working properly and if the
answer is yes then 
 try adjusting the EXS24's parameters for virtual memory to get the maximum
amount of buffering of the piano samples.
