[Feature Request]: Move blocking IO into a separate thread

[maxguru]

Describe your idea in details

I've noticed that file IO causes the UI to freeze temporarily when the file system is busy. It would make for a snappier user experience to move blocking IO to a separate thread (or use non-blocking IO).

Do you have an example for such an IO operations? Also, which OS are using?

[maxguru]

I noticed this working on something on a NFS mount when the remote host was busy. The IO operation is usually saving a file and such. I'm using Gentoo Linux.
