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.
