I'm not a Windows user, but my understanding of the issue, based on forum threads here, is that if DF goes too long without making a system call, Windows assumes it's gone catatonic, and gives you the "should I kill it now?" offer.

Normally DF updates the screen after each year of history has been processed.  But on slower computers, when generating larger worlds, or worlds with longer history, the time DF can spend on a single year can exceed Windows's "it's gone catatonic" threshold.

Not so much "Should I kill it now?" as "That bitch is going down hard, NOW!"...
