Its also possible the `InitialCodeCacheSize=20M` argument is masking the problem. Something like 4K would make the problem much easier to see.

I see the problem every time .NET grows the cache across a 64K page boundary. 20M may mean you are allocating huge pages or something which might mask the problem. We may be allocating code pages 64K at a time.
