I think it's nothing more than a simple long time buffering.
You can reproduce this behaviur by opening a large document (ie. in
word) with size 2M. And watch the task manager. You will see word - Not
Responding.
The ``Not Responding" state nothing more than the core thread of
application - that handle all the window events - can not read its
message qeue, so the event sent by task manager left unresponded (Not
Responding). Note that a simple file open can not be splitted into several
thread (or NT fiber) because it is a single operation, API call (fopen).

Thats all. I think.
