Without these settings, a paragraph that would leave 1 or 2 lines at the bottom of a page (orphans) would be moved to the next page leaving blank lines and a paragraph that would leave 1 or 2 lines at the start of the next page (widows) will have enough lines moved to the next page to leave 3 or more at the top of the page, again leaving blank lines at the bottom of the previous page.

I don't know if the following is a problem with widows/orphans or some other rendering issue, but clearly there's a problem. The second shot is with a slightly smaller font than the first, showing that there's a decent chunk of the next paragraph that could've been rendered on the mostly blank page.
