seems to be one big single threaded process

This option has existed since win2k IIRC:

Tools > Folder Options > View > Launch folder windows in a separate processed

I don't think that actually fixes the issue though. Perhaps there's some shared message queue that's blocking things? I don't know. I know I've had that on in the past and it didn't solve it.

After enabling that, at most one single window hangs, not the entire explorer ui.
