How to reproduce

I know this behaviour is due to some technical constraints, but shouldn't there be a way to not block main thread while handling IPC?

Or at least do the work in chunks.
This could be a major responsiveness booster for a lot of apps out there.

Can someone enumerate why is it the way it is?
Maybe this way we'll have some ideal for possible solutions to make it block less or not block at all?
